Firm and ripe, with dense, juicy fruit, this shows the exuberant side of Touriga Nacional. It has solid tannins, but the fruit is full of bright berries, herbs and a touch of pepper. The wood aging has rounded the fruit out.——R.V.(12/15/2007)—— 90

This powerful, dry wine shows all the density and structure of the Douro’s most famous grape variety. Offers solid black fruit, followed through by intense acidity, and a satisfying black currant fruit taste. This is certainly the most impressive wine in this Grand’Arte range. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).——R.V.(3/1/2006)—— 90
