A powerfully ripe wine, full of black fruit and sumptuous tannins. Despite its youth, the wine, wearing all its charms up front, is very ready to drink. It’s dark, juicy and deliciously rich.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo 2008 Grande Reserva Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $49
A firm, initially austere wine that only shows its richness slowly. Obviously it needs aging, because the dark tannins show the huge potential concentration of fruit under the tigth structure. It’s going to be impressive. Give it 5–6 years.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo 2009 TN Grand Reserva Touriga Nacional (Douro)

Structured and perfumed, this is a great expression of Touriga Nacional. It brings out a mineral character, with a severe edge to go with the dry tannins and black currant flavors. For aging over 4–5 years.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo 2008 Vintage Port (Port)

- $60
Lean, bitter chocolate-flavored wine. The structure dominates, pierced with acidity and tight tannins. Firm, structured and dry, it has weight enough to suggest it will age.

An impressively structured wine, the dense and dusty tannins in fine balance with the big berry fruits. Freshness is preserved by the acidity, the wine’s firm character opening up to a delicious, more juicy finish.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo 2009 Referencia Grand Reserva Red (Douro)
- Online Exclusive
The top wine from Quinta Nova is hugely rich, rather extracted and over the top. Chocolate, rather than fruit, dominates, giving a bitter edge and bringing out the wine’s dark tannins. It’s certainly impressive, and will soften in 3–4 years.
