SF | Precocious, edgy , powerful and still relatively untamed a little way down the track...one expects Single Quinta to mature before the Vintage Ports, but neither should be doing much beyond slumber at six years of age...the spirit marks out this wine and one infers that it may need a little longer than many of its peers to settle down. Classy, for all that.. 91
AJ | Dark, dense opaque black red, with both purple and red in the glints Not quite up with its cohort aromatically speaking: raw fruits without much finesse, purity and polish, and not much subtle support either. On the palate, it's gutsy but rather rough and ready, and I wouldn't keep it beyond its exuberant phase.Drink Dates: 2027 - 2030. 85
RM | deep, opaque, open ripe almost Burgundian aromas with plenty of dense fleshy berry fruit both on the nose and palate, richly sweet, broad but lacking a bit of focus and definition at this stage, well structured with a satisfying bitter-sweet finish. Very good indeed.Drink Dates: 2030 - 2050. 92
