Quinta do Crasto 2006 Vinha Maria Teresa Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $151
A parcel of 90-year-old vines gives this stunning wine. It has so much richness, complexity and concentration. It’s dense with dried plums, black figs and lifted by acidity that seems to come right from the base of the wine. It is worth aging 4–5 years, maybe more.

One of the finest wines from the Douro, a powerful statement from 100-year-old vines. It has dense black fruits, tempered with an elegant style, the acidity giving a fresh edge to the concentration, spice and layers of wood. Age for 7–8 years and more.

Casa Ferreirinha 2001 Reserva Especial Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $100
This is the most recent release of Reserva Especial, a wine made in exceptional years that are not quite exceptional enough for the legendary Barca Velha. It is rich, tarry, a supreme wine, now maturing with secondary dried fruit, spice and brooding tannins. It could go for many more years.

Quinta do Crasto 2009 Vinha Maria Teresa Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $145
Ninety-year-old vines produce this ink-black wine, intensely powerful and concentrated. At this stage it is very young, its superb dense fruit still developing. But the power, the rich tannins and the smooth feel from open stone fermenters still make this a wine that needs considerable aging. Give it 5–7 years and more.

Quinta do Vesuvio 2009 Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $73
Capable of standing alongside the great Ports of Vesuvio, this table wine reveals the fantastic quality of its vineyard. It is both powerful and elegant, a wood-aged wine bearing a dense, dark flavor of black plum, with damson-tinged acidity. This impressive wine needs more than 5–6 years of aging.

Quinta do Vale Meão 2008 Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
One of Portugal’s great wines, this epitomizes the minerality and the rich, dark fruit of the Douro. It is intensely structured, powered by dark tannins, with rich berry fruit, layers of wood and acidity. With the extra freshness and pure fruits that are typical of 2008, this will age for many years.
