Richard Mayson: A thousand cases of this wine were made in robotic lagares at Quinta dos Malvedos: very very deep and opaque in color, crimson rim; lovely aroma, restrained and pure, violets evident from the 24 percent Touriga Nacional in the blend; similarly pure, peppery, blackcurrant fruit on the palate; firm, dense tannins, leaner than some of the others, but leading to a fresh, pure finish. Already lovely to drink now but better still in a decade. 16
