Stunning value. A great wine for steak. Dense, dry, good acidity and tannins but not harsh. Rounded and plummy. Decant a bit.

Second tasting, consistent notes with first tasting. Great value. Feb 2020.

Super value here from the Douro again this vintage. Nicely balanced tannin and acidity match well with the rich, ripe fruit. For drinking over the next few years. Worth buying a few for bbq season. Tasted June 2019.
