A big, bold, robust wine, dominated by black berry fruits and a deep layer of spice and toast. It is very rich, the tannins showing some structure, with the acidity buried in sweet, ripe fruit.——R.V.(4/1/2010)—— 89

Port producer Churchill owns this quinta, and makes both table wine and Port. It’s a big success, its rich soft fruits, flavored with prunes and sultanas as well as vivid dark plums, are held together well by the concentrated dry tannins, and finished with fresh acidity. Give this wine five years.——R.V.(7/1/2008)—— 91
