Score 18.5/20 · Drink 2005-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2005
Very intellectual and playful. Lots of acidity and just 12.5 per cent alcohol. Very distinctive. Very much a food wine. Much less sweet and alcoholic than most. Very dry. Sappy, appetising finish. Lots of Tinta Amarela in the blend. Grainy texture. Old vines on north-facing slopes to maximise ripening period. (JR)
