What The Critics Say
Wine Spectator (previous vintage)
"Wild plum and berry flavours are concentrated and well rounded in this balanced, fresh-tasting red, which shows hints of chocolate on the finish."
Financial Times, Jancis Robinson (previous vintage)
"Port producers Symington's table wine, based on Tinta Roriz, improves with every vintage. Sweet blackberry fruit laced with pepper and spice. Fine, dry texture. Even quite elegant."
Wine Enthusiast (previous vintage)
"A forward, fruity wine that shows ripe black-currant fruit. It does have the stricture that comes from the tough soils of the Douro, but this is balanced by the acidity, juicy fruitiness and ripe tannins."
