Meat, bacon and plum skin aromas are followed by dense, ripe tannins, piled on by black, solid fruits. This is a powered, intense wine, with superrich fruit, but encased in dry tannins.——R.V.(4/1/2008)—— 92

This maturing version of the Conde de Vimioso, reveals old-fashioned, tarry, licorice flavors that are well balanced and enjoyable. A blend of Trincadeira, Aragones, Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon, it seems to be dominated by the first two, warm southern grapes, which give a generous, ripe character and a rich aftertaste.
