James Suckling: 93 Points

Aromas of dried fruits and lots of blackberries. Some wet earth with, of course, alcohol. It’s full-bodied, medium sweet with slightly chewy tannins. Shows tension and focus. Really solid and delicious. Drink now, but will improve with age.

Wine Spectator: 92 Points

Juicy, open and inviting, with a solid core of blackberry and mulberry preserves judiciously laced with cocoa, fruitcake and black licorice notes. Fresh, bramble-tinted finish. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão. Drink now through 2027. 3,554 cases made.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

The 2016 Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port is a field blend from typical grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Sousão, aged for five years in casks. This traditional LBV comes with a long cork and 92 grams of sugar. (There was no 2015 released.) Another super LBV from one of the region's best producers of it, this is bursting with flavors leaning to strawberries and herbs. It adds fine concentration and reasonable tannic support. In power, it is a bit understated this year. This should age well (they always do) and acquire complexity along the way, which is all that is now missing.
