97 points James Halliday"Wow. Silky smooth aromas of red berries, grey minerality (granite, graphite, etc) and breaths of oceans air whispered about. The palate is exactly as the nose promises, elegant and refined. Length of flavour is where this really...

95 points James Suckling"Lovely depth of fruit and richness here with dark-chocolate, berry and spicy undertones. Full body, soft and polished tannins and a long finish. A superb wine. Fantastic." 93 points Wine Spectator"Rich aromas of smoke, spice and...

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...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"Subtle notes of damask rose entwine with juicy, ripe yellow peach to give this wine a warm, subtle aroma. Spiciness is hinted at, then displayed on the creamy, rich palate where gentle sweetness is countered by a peppery...

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...

92 points Wine & Spirits"Light in body and nearly stabbing in acidity, this is dominated by marine flavors that bring to mind smoked oysters in their depth, richness and complexity. The acidity seems to accelerate through the wine, stirring up notes...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"Deep and concentrated fruit flavors give this full-bodied wine plenty to savor, while light vanilla and cinnamon notes from oak aging dress it up nicely. Moderate tannins maintain good balance despite the wine's richness...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"This is a solid regional example that boasts heady notes of ripe pomegranate and wild strawberries, framed by sweet spices and a firm stony minerality. Certified organic. European Cellars. 90 points Wine Spectator"Ripe, but...

93 points James Suckling"The tannins are firm and silky here with blackberry and wet-earth character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a creamy-textured finish." 92 points Vinous"The 2019 Larrivaux is a very pretty, gracious wine. Crushed flowers,...
