For the Love of Port (94+ points):
"This 2021 is exemplary. It is incredible that this Port can be this good! Aromatics include some of the usual suspects and the success of the Touriga Franca and Nacional have a lot to do with it. Filled to the brim with violets and lavender floral notes, flashy and spicy scents of cocoa and loads of esteva from the first whiff, but also black licorice and black raspberries provide the impetus to keep nose in glass. Round, sumptuous, and mellifluous sum up the essence of this medium+ bodied wine. Not as densely concentrated as the fantastic 2020, yet harmonious with prolific balance coming forward to mingle with tannins soft and fine grained from the very beginning. Loads of fresh boysenberry and blueberry flavors were prevalent early on and a couple of days in, much drier lingonberry became the mainstay, and the overall harmony of this Port further emerged. While this is 2021 is already so enjoyable to sip at this point, I would advise to begin opening your bottles around 2035 and for those young enough, consume through 2065. But why wait, it is fantastic now!"
Wine Spectator (94 points):
"On the reticent side at this early stage, with a core of black currant and plum reduction notes held in check by baker's chocolate and a hint of espresso crema. Very solidly built, a tug of warm earth adds a slightly sauvage edge on the finish, though the fruit easily keeps pace. Really solid grip. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barocca. Best from 2040 through 2060."
Spritnyt (94 points):
"Animalsk i duften og virkelig sort og intens i smagen. Ret vinøs og fremstår flot balanceret med masser af sorte blommer, lakrids og ikke mindst sort peber. En flot og stor vin, lige i laget under de allerstørste. Men til prisen et kup."
