The 2015 Quinta de Senhora da Ribeira, the Douro Superior quinta, is a blend of Touriga Franca 55%, Touriga Nacional 35% and Sousão 10%. It comes in at 98 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is a relatively big boy on first taste, showing good structure and a mouth-coating demeanor. The delicious flavors, laced with cherry-chocolate and some mint, make it enticing, not just well structured. This is a lovely single-quinta that should age pretty well and still be approachable young. As it sat and aired, it became a bit more mute. It did seem to come around very fast, and it was not quite as impressive as the initial tastes suggested. It is still pretty delicious and it should hold well. This has been released. There were 700 cases produced, plus some large-format bottles.
This takes a fresh approach, with a spearmint hint piercing the core of bright, juicy blueberry, blackberry and boysenberry paste flavors. Rounded and generous, showing an open feel. Eschews grip for purity and charm. Best from 2025 through 2035. 700 cases made, 350 cases imported.
