Quinta do Vale Meão 2008 Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $70
Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011
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.  — R.V.  (4/1/2011)

Quinta do Crasto 2007 Vinha Maria Teresa Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $125
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.  — R.V.  (11/1/2010)

Alvaro Castro 2008 Pape Red (Dão)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $65
Here is a powerful, dense wine, with modest alcohol— thanks to the Dão’s mountain climate and granite soil. Pape is a top wine from Alvaro Castro made predominantly from Touriga Nacional. Perfumed, elegant and structured, with plenty of concentration, this is a wine for serious aging.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Quinta do Crasto 2009 Vinha Maria Teresa Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $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.  — R.V.  (2/1/2012)

Alvaro Castro 2007 Pape Red (Dão)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $72
A rich and powerful wine, dense and chewy. Its tannins dominate a wine that is still young. The damson and blackberry fruits give richness and acidity. Combined, the structure and the fruit make an imposing, potentially long-lived wine.  — R.V.  (11/1/2011)

Niepoort 2009 Batuta Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $100
Dark in color, this is a powerful, classic wine, with dense tannins. It has rich black-fruit flavors, and notes of wood and herb that are packed into its concentrated, dry structure. This is a great Douro for aging.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Casa Ferreirinha 2001 Reserva Especial Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — R.V.  (11/1/2010)

Quinta do Crasto 2006 Vinha Maria Teresa Red (Douro)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — R.V.  (12/15/2009)

2010 Quady Elysium

With nearly 20% residual sugar, this wine is enormously sweet in honey…
