Quinta da Romaneira 2008 Tinto Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $40
Since we last reviewed a vintage of Romaneira, with the 2005 wine, the estate has moved closer to realizing its potential. This is an impressive, powerful yet elegant wine. Its dark fruits are sustained by wood and leavened by acidity. It has a great sense of style and considerable aging potential.

Quinta da Romaneira 2006 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
A smooth, yet textured Port, with sweet berry fruits layered with tannins that promise aging. The wine has elegance, perfumed with violets and ripe berries, balanced with some drier acidity and structure. The best vintage from Romaneira so far.

Quinta da Romaneira 2005 R de Romaneira Red (Douro)
- $21
Taking the idea of its name from Sauternes producers, the second wine from Romaneira is rich, succulent and fruity. There are plenty of tannins, but they are soft, leaving the main flavors to black fruits, toast and spice.

Quinta da Romaneira 2005 Red (Douro)
- $50
The second vintage from this spectacularly restored estate in the upper Douro shows greater intensity, the fruits concentrated, ripe, full of bright berries. It has plenty of richness, maybe not hugely complex, but likely to develop well over 2–5 years.

Quinta da Romaneira 2007 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
Fine perfumed aromas, with an explosion of violets and black fruits. The wine has structure and flavors of tomato juice and blackberries. The tannins jump in, firm and dry with a final dense concentration. The best vintage so far from this newly revived quinta.

Quinta da Romaneira 2008 Vintage Port (Port)
- Online Exclusive
An attractively perfumed wine that shows a fine balance between fresh acidity and soft, sweet fruits. It is light in texture, open rather than concentrated. There is a rich black cherry final character.

Quinta da Romaneira 2009 Syrah (Duriense)
- $40
A smoothly rich wine, this unusual Syrah from the Douro valley shows how good the variety can be there. It flows easily and generously in the mouth, with black cherry, sweet tannins and light acidity. Probably not for long aging, but delicious.

Quinta da Romaneira 2004 Red (Douro)
- Online Exclusive
The first fruits of the renaissance of this grand Douro quinta (which now also houses a luxury hotel). It is huge, revealing up-front, modern, polished black fruits that would not be out of place in Australia. Maybe the typicity is lacking, but the wine certainly has grandeur, power and rich, extracted fruits. The pepper finish reveals the alcohol.
