“Intense red berry and crushed red plum flavors are supported by fresh acidity and firm tannins. Touriga Nacional blend.”

“Intense red berry and crushed red plum flavors are supported by fresh acidity and firm tannins. Shows good grip midpalate, featuring a finish loaded with slate, graphite and pepper accents.”

"The 2012 Tinto, the Estate red, is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinta Roriz, 10% Touriga Franca, 10% Castelão and 10% Alicante Bouschet, aged for 18 months in used French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This doesn't show a lot of concentration in this vintage, but it has fine structure, some intensity––both in power and flavor––and seductive texture. This is a perfect food wine and a good value (I am saying that last a lot lately with this bottling, an annual "can't–go–wrong" bargain)."

“Deep, dark cherry red. Intense aromas of ripe cherry, a hint of bergamot and violets - classic Touriga scent. Rich, dense and chewy, with thick, plush tannins. A light note of smoky spice but it's the fruit that shines. Texture of deep-pile velvet. Very satisfying and just fresh enough, with dark chocolate on the long finish. Almost broachable now but will get even better with a little longer in the bottle for the tannins to gain finesse.” - 17 points out of 20
