Quinta da Manoella Vinhas Velhas 2019

Like a fine marble statue, this harmonious red shows precise, seamless definition, layering a subtle note of cured tobacco and creamy tannins with an expressive range of blackberry tart, fig cake, herbed olive and dark chocolate. Mouthwatering and minerally, expanding on the long finish. Drink now through 2034. Score – 97. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Nov. 30, 2022)
