Wine Enthusiast-Douro, Portugal - "It is structured but, as with all second wines, it is likely to be ready way before its elder sibling. The fruit is already finely in place giving ripe black flavors, fine integrated tannins and final acidity."

Douro, Portugal - Deep ruby color. Very fresh notes of raspberries, cherries, and ripe fruit with a light spice touch. Very soft and round on the palate. Tasty with a fresh finish.
