Critic tasting note: (2020 vintage) "Very fine tannins here with a plum, cedar and granite character as well as dried meat. Medium-bodied, juicy and savory. Earthy and subtly flavorful. Decaying forest flower. A blend of 49% touriga nacional, 34% alfrocheiro preto, and 17% tinta roriz. So good now, but can age. Real Portuguese red. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

2020 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2023
Very fine tannins here with a plum, cedar and granite character as well as dried meat. Medium-bodied, juicy and savory. Earthy and subtly flavorful. Decaying forest flower. A blend of 49% touriga nacional, 34% alfrocheiro preto, and 17% tinta roriz. So good now, but can age. Real Portuguese red. Drink or hold.
2019 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2022
O lote inclui Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro e Tinta Roriz. Muita harmonia logo no aroma, com a fruta em bom entrosamento com as notas de pinheiro e flores em fundo, forradas depois pela barrica. Elegante na boca e com boa proporção de taninos e acidez, é um tinto muito guloso, capaz para prova desde já.
2019 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2022
This shows notes of ripe black and blue fruit, chocolate, peanut butter and walnut. Full-bodied with firm tannins and vivid acidity. It’s both creamy and chewy. Deep dark fruit and notes of nut shell and spices to close. Drink or hold.
2018 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2022
This is an impressive wine from this major estate in the Dão region. Strong minerality is allied to rich tannins to underline the wine's potential. Black fruits, acidity and solid tannins are showing beautifully. Drink from 2024. Roger Voss
2018 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2022
Aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, chocolate, ash, oyster shells and cigar box. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Dark and velvety with a creamy texture. Polished. Supple, sweetly spiced finish. Drink or hold.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Jun 2021
This has a fragrant, pretty nose of stewed cherries, black plums, lavender, dried herbs and baking spices. It’s medium-to full-bodied with polished, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Plush and juicy with a deliciously spicy and toasty core of dark fruit. Tangy and energetic finish. Drink or hold.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2020
This rich, sumptuous wine is packed with great swathes of black fruits as well as a layer of firm tannins that lend support. A ripe blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz, it shows aging potential and should be enjoyed from 2022. Roger Voss

2016 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2019
This is a dense, richly textured wine, wood aged and blending Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz. The wine has dark berry fruits and succulent acidity in fine proportion. Powerful tannins still stray across the palate, so this serious wine will be better from 2020. Roger Voss
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2019
(2019) Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Alfrocheiro blend, each component fermented in stainless steel then aged separately for 12 months in new and used French oak before blending. Very sophisticated wine, herb and garrigue character, fudge-like creaminess and keen-edged black fruits. Juicy and deliciously cool and creamy, mint-edged black fruit smoothly fresh into the menthol finish. Note price and stockist quoted at time of review is for an earlier vintage.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2016
This wine comes from the Guedes family's Carvalhais estate in the heart of the Dão. Only made in better vintages, this latest release is almost at its peak. It has smooth, ripe tannins with leather, spice and acidity rather than the primary fruits. That makes for a sophisticated, complex wine that will be ready to drink from late 2016.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2015
Nariz rico e opulento, com frutos pretos, fumados, mato seco e especiarias. Denso e carnudo, com acidez envolvida e um carácter maduro, redondo, muito cheio e vigoroso, com bom equilíbrio
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2014
Solidly tannic, this concentrated wine demands time to mature. With flavors of black plum skin and damson, it is fruity, but that fruit is masked by the dark tannins, the mineral structure and the brooding temperament of this still-young wine. Drink from 2016.
2007 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2011
Fruta preta num registo maduro, salino, sedutor. Tenso e compacto, com complexidade. Na boca é firme e texturado, com boa acidez, ligeiro herbáceo, final longo e definido, desdobrando-se em nuances. (14%)
2005 Vintage
Tasted: May 2009
Feito de Touriga Nacional e Encruzado, tem aroma muito fino, misturando nuances de framboesa, flores silvestres, tostados, tudo com grande elegância. Elegância é igualmente a palavra que melhor o define na boca, cremosa, requintada, com o fruto em evidência no final longo pontuado por uma nota ligeiramente doce.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2004
Big white pepper, licorice, sweaty saddle, cedar, vanilla, black cherry, gamey pudding aromas. Rich, round, fairly supple entry with ripe tannins and very full bodied. Intense smoky licorice, black cherry, chocolate pudding, cassis, mineral, gamey resin flavours. Dry finish but fine length and intensity, should be able to age well for the next 2-5 years. Very attractive style for meat and grilled foods this fall and winter. (Anthony Gismondi).
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2004
Leuchtendes Rubingranat, guter Farbkern, breitere violette Randaufhellung, in der Nase stark nach Marsh Mallows, süßliche Aromen, Cassis und Flieder, am Gaumen etwas verwässert, zu hoher Säurebogen, es fehlt an Harmonie, bleibt eher kurz.
2016 Vintage
Rubi. Nariz marcado pelos aromas de fruta preta e azulada, balsâmicos de casca de pinheiro, resina e eucalipto, e alguma especiaria (alcaçuz, pimentão doce, noz moscada). Na boca é fresco e equilibrado, persistente, com belos taninos a prometer evolução em garrafa. Mas dá prazer bebê-lo já.
2017 Vintage
Rubi escuro e denso. Nariz elegante, misterioso, com floresta e caruma de pinheiro, pimenta, alcatrão, notas tostadas e fumadas da presença da madeira. Tanino fino, acidez vibrante, lado mineral evidente, final longo. É intenso, sério, viril, para guardar vários anos.
