December 2024 93 Points Wine Spectator

Pure, fresh and nicely polished, with black cherry and plum compote notes mixed with cocoa, graphite and black licorice. There's a flash of violet on the finish, with good, steady grip in the background. Best from 2030 through 2045.

“A friendly version, with cherries jubilee, hazelnut and cinnamon notes mixed together, all braced by a sandalwood frame through the finish. Drink now.”

Now well matured, this Port has depth and a good balance between a dry core and sweet dried fruits. The wine is ready to drink but will also age at least until 2028.

“Located in the World Heritage Site of Foz Côa, this vineyard makes impressively structured wines and Ports. This new release is still intensely young, full of black fruits with richness from foot treading during fermentation. Drink this powerful wine from 2027.”

“The terraced Urtiga is a legendary vineyard planted to 63 different indigenous varieties, with the average vine age well over 100 years. This wine, a flagship of an entire region, shows bright and lively despite its definitively ripe character. Aromas of smoked cedar, crushed stone, desert scrub and violets denote the wine's elegance. Its palate is ripe yet energetic, with a core of spiced plum and berry fruits framed by balsamic strawberry character, smoky ember and stone minerality, and savoury spices.”
