Quinta de Pancas Wines

Sort By:

Quinta de Pancas 2003 Premium Red (Estremadura)

Price $80

A limited release (4,000 bottles) of wine from the best casks of 2003, selected after 18 months of wood aging. It certainly is a stunning wine: big, rich, tarry, very polished and ripe. There is great depth of flavor here, solid figs and dried fruits along with ripe black plums. There’s a layer of dry tannin that will soften as the wine ages. Give it another five… — R.V. (3/1/2006)

Quinta de Pancas 2003 Reserva Especial Red (Estremadura)

Price $38

Bordeaux meets Douro in this wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Touriga Nacional. They seem to like each other in this powerful, explosive wine. It is dense, perfumed, with very ripe tannins and a great balance between dryness and big, black fruits. This could age well over 5–10 years. Imported by Admiral Wine Imports. — R.V. (3/1/2006)

Quinta de Pancas 2003 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Estremadura)

Price $35

Ripe, full-bodied and powerful, this is a delicious, velvety wine. The tannins are tamed by richness and wood flavors, and balanced with licorice flavors and opulent, jammy fruits. Imported by Admiral Wine Imports. — R.V. (3/1/2006)

Quinta de Pancas 2003 Assemblage Touriga Nacional-Cabernet Sauvignon (Estremadura)

Best Buy

Price $12

It’s called Assemblage because the wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon. This big wine, with its dense structure, texture and superripe fruit, is certainly rich. The tannins and the acidity do hold everything in check. But it’s not a wine for aging. — R.V. (12/15/2007)

Quinta de Pancas 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Estremadura)

Price $15

Seems relatively mature already, showing herbal, tobacco-like scents and some earthy, loamy flavors. Leather and spice notes add complexity to the dry, dusty finish. — J.C. (11/1/2006)

Quinta de Pancas 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon (Estremadura)

Price $13

Green peppers and a stemmy quality mar the nose, which is otherwise closed. Fruit then creeps into the picture, but never quite gets its foot through the door. Dry and tannic. Not bad but not all that welcoming. — W.E. (10/1/1999)
