Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Aug 2024
This shows aromas reminiscent of dried herbs with a subtle balsamic touch and graphite. Very balanced, this has a juicy yet compact style, polished tannins and a long and intense finish. A field blend of extremely old vines. Aged for 12 months in 20% new and 80% used French oak barrels. Drink now or hold.

About the producer

Real Companhia Velha
Real Companhia Velha is the oldest wine company in Portugal, founded in 1756. It was initially entrusted with maintaining the quality and purity of Port wines coming from the Douro after counterfeiting and adulteration had discredited the region, leading to a significant drop in exports.
