From the aroma, this seems heavily wooded, but on the palate the wood spice is becoming well integrated with the dark berry fruits and mineral texture. It is certainly young. Already, though, the fruit is showing its potential richness. Give it 3–4 years.——R.V.(8/1/2010)—— 91

The partner to Aveleda’s pure Touriga Nacional Follies, this is a finer wine, with its complexity of flavors coming from the blend. It has red berry and black plum fruit flavors, sweetened by dried prunes and held together by rich, dry tannins.——R.V.(12/15/2009)—— 92

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional, this combination brings out the elegance of the Cabernet, with its juicy black currant fruit flavors. The tannins are a touch green, leaving bell pepper flavors on a wine that finishes tight.——R.V.(11/1/2008)—— 86
