Richard Mayson: Just 350 cases made at Senhora da Ribeira, none of which will be put on sale; deep, opaque, and dense, rich, and ripe, but still closed on the nose; very full, sweet, and rich, fleshy and quite opulent initially, with a touch of mint, eucalyptus, and esteva (gum cistus); a firm tannic finish but overall quite suave. Lacking the weight of its peers but a good middle-distance wine for up to 10 years. 15.5
