93 Points Wine Enthusiast | The quinta, situated in the prestigious Torto River valley near its mouth at the Douro, is now producing some fine Ports. This Vintage, superficially soft and fruity, is in fact still packed with dense tannins, giving a solid structure, some maturing sweetness and black fruits. The wine will be ready from 2028.

Jancis Robinson 16.5/20 Points | A more traditional bottle shape than most of the Quinta da Côrte wines. Darkest, inky crimson with a deep cherry rim. Rich earthy spice and warm blackberry fruit with dark chocolate notes and lots of spice, cardamom, for example. Complex and inviting. Tastes sweeter than the LBV 2015. Great power, packed with spice and very ripe black fruits. A savoury, earthy intensity even with all this fruit. The tannins are chewy and thick but already relatively supple for a vintage port. More noticeable freshness than on the LBV and better balanced than their unfortified Douro reds. Long and deep and still a baby. 2025 - 2035"

A deep ruby red in color, this LBV immediately reveals aromas of fresh black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by cherries, and displays a fine maturity. The palate develops complex flavors, amongst which cocoa and mint stand out. Meaty, very well balanced and with great length, it builds on a finely formed structure with elegance and superb volume. The full, fruity finish, lightly mentholated, adds great coherence to the whole.
