Richard Mayson: Nicely integrated on the nose, pineapple on a savory backdrop; similarly fresh pineapple flavors, subtropical with depth and concentration, nicely focused withatoasty/ citrussy finish. well balanced and very well integrated. 17.5

Charles Metcalfe: ripe, melony aroma. Quite complex, with lean acidity, ripe melon and tropical fruits, and a gentle undertone of barrel fermentation. Buttery note as well. All in all, a richly satisfying, full-bodied Douro white. 16

Joanna Simon: Sweet, floral peach and apricot aromas. green apricot fruit on the palate, with a succulent texture, well-integrated oak, spicy, savory, mineral notes, and clean, fresh finish. 17
