Duorum 2007 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
A first vintage Port for José Maria Soares Franco, the man behind the legendary Douro table wine Barca Velha. He has teamed up with J. Portugal Ramos, better known in the Alentejo. This is beautifully perfumed Touriga Nacional, followed by fine and ripe tannins. A layer of acidity gives the wine a more dry, serious side. Powerful and intended for aging.

Duorum 2007 Old Vines Reserva Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A structured, elegant and concentrated wine. It is dominated by tannins, by its mineral structure and its black currant fruit. There are juicy acidity, firm tannins and a great sense of style. Still young from a fine Douro vintage, it needs several years to mature.

This is powerfully impressive, with its firm structure giving great depth to the rich black-cherry and plum fruits. Dense and tannic, it needs to age for at least four years.

Duorum 2010 Quinta do Castelo Melhor Vintage Port (Port)
- $75
With firm, smoky tannins and a dark bitter-cherry flavor, this is a dense wine. It is fully ripe and rich, with a firm kick at the back. Tough and age worthy, it expresses the schist soil of the region.

Duorum 2009 Vintage Port (Port)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
A firm and very structured wine, this is for long-term aging. At this young stage, the fruit seems extracted, but this will pass as the weight of the dense damson skin and tannic character shines through. Complex and finally ripe.

Duorum 2007 Reserva Old Vines Red (Douro)
- $50
With its dark color and intense tannins, this is a big wine in all senses. The fruit is packed into a box of firm dry structure, with acidity keeping a lid on its potential exuberance. It certainly needs time for the richness to fully come through.

Duorum 2008 Old Vines Reserva Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $40
Incredibly young, this is going to be an impressive, serious wine. It has all the elements—dark fruit and acidity tied together with intense tannins. It tastes of the hard landscape of the Douro, with a severe character that needs several years to soften.
