Jancisrobinson.com 17.5/20 “30% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, and 40% old-vine field blend. Foot-trodden in granite lagares for an evening before being transferred to stainless-steel vats for fermentation. Matured for 20 months in new (50%) and used (50%) French oak casks. Very dark core with purplish rim. Intensely aromatic with pure black fruit and Touriga's floral aromas including violets and also bergamot. Lightly spiced and beautifully fragrant yet not lacking the dark, rocky Douro signature. Firm but already smooth tannins with a suggestion of dark chocolate on the finish. A finely modulated wine that you could drink fairly soon but also keep for a decade or more. Polished but still unmistakably Douro. (JH)”

jancisrobinson.com 16.5/20 "50% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 15% Tinta Roriz, and 5% Sousão all from La Rosa’s estate, mostly from the Lamelas vineyard planted by Tim Bergqvist more than 30 years ago. Matured for 12 months in mostly used (70%) French oak casks. Very dark, almost black, with a purplish rim. Rich, generous and dark-fruited, open and fragrant and with unmistakable Douro character, which for me is not sweetness of fruit but an impression of rocks – the dark/stony character – and the local cistus wild flowers, which gives a subtle floral/herbal quality. This is juicy, medium-bodied and with already quite smooth tannins. A recipe for early drinking but with enough structure to age for a few years. Nicely dry finish on a wine that is hard not to like. (JH)"
