97 points Wine Advocate"The 2019 Pintas Vintage Port is a field blend from more than 40 different grapes from very old vines (around 90 years). It comes in with 108 grams of residual sugar and was bottled in May 2021 after 19 months in old chestnut casks...

96 points Wine Advocate"The NV 50 Year White Port was bottled in April 2022 with 123 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. Shockingly fresh for its age, this is also delicious, concentrated and impressively long on the finish. It has a lot of...

92 points Decanter"This concentrated Vinho Verde is labelled Loureiro but, hailing from an estate in Monção, has more than splash (15%) of Alvarinho which, together with the terroir, doubtless accounts for the powerfully fruited,...

95 points Decanter"A regular medal winner at DWWA, this is a traditional LBV from an excellent year. Foot-trodden aged for years in wood before bottling without filtration. This wine has power and depth, with fresh, tight-knit fruit and gentle...

96 points Wine Enthusiast"Densely textured with dusty tannins and full of black-plum skin and prune flavors, this is a ripe complex wine. Its sweeter character does not spoil the great structure and dry core that will allow this exemplary wine to age...

Wine Spectator"Ripe and sleek, showing boysenberry and plum puree notes that glide through easily, with light anise and violet as well as a lightly toasted finish. Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca. Drink now through 2024."  Vinous Reverie...

91 points Decanter"Markedly low acidity here contributes to a voluptuous, sweeter style and seemingly fuller body: ripe, rolling, figgy and expressive – very pleasant indeed." 91 points Wine Enthusiast"This rich wine is balanced and ripe with...

98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"Tight, fresh, silky and sweet, this delectable Port has mid-palate finesse and serious structure. After aeration, it seemed even more serious, and drier than statistics might suggest. The question is how fine it...

96 points Decanter"Blend dominated by Touriga Franca (41%) and Touriga Nacional (37%). Mainly picked eight days after the mid-September rain: initially deep, ripe and dense on the nose, opening up to reveal a scented berry fruit bouquet. Lovely plum and...

93 points Decanter"Ripe aromas of damson, and plum with notes of aniseed, warm with pepper spice, and cool with a leafy freshness. Deeply crimson colour, almost inky. A full bodied and rounded palate with big bold classic fruit flavours, and a hint of...

98 points James SucklingThis is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao...

Jancis Robinson"Glowing garnet. Very fresh and lively and ready to attack. Vigorous and rewarding. Very long and full of character with a rich mix of spices and a top note of herbs. GV *good value* 17/20 points." Vinous Reverie NotesWinery: Grape...
