The 2007 Tinto, the winery’s flagship, is a big, big winner. Primarily Aragonez and Alicante Bouschet, with some Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is piercing and pointed, precise and focused, with a concentrated mid-palate yet the acidity to allow the wine to seem lively, not dense or ponderous. This should age beautifully and develop considerable complexity. This has not yet begun to show everything that it has, but it has enormous potential. Drink 2013-2027. - Mark Squires

Rich crimson. More savoury and more oak in evidence compared with the 2006. Savoury, restrained and a little more cedary/woody. Slight dustiness on the nose. Then much more dense on the palate. Much more structured. More masculine and corseted than the 2006. Very fresh. Needs food and air. Still has elegant and fine tannins. One for the long term. Refined but has all the flesh it needs. 17.5+/20 (JH)
