92 points James Suckling"Pretty nose of chopped apples, pineapple and grapefruit, with some sea breeze. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and fruity, with a creamy texture and a long, salty finish." 90 points Wine Enthusiast"From the north of the Vinho...

Jancis Robinson"A blend of 30% Viosinho, 25% Rabigato, 20% Verdelho, 20% Arinto and 5% Moscatel made by Duorum, a joint venture between João-Portugal Ramos of Alentejo and José Maria Soares Franco, ex-Barca Velha. The white vines are in the...

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,...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"A finely balanced Vintage Port, this is richly textured, poised between sweet black-fruit compote flavors and plenty of firm tannins. This impressive wine is dense, sure to age well. Drink from 2029." 93 points Wine Spectator"A...

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...
