This wine, celebrating the involvement of Portuguese explorers in the silk route, has a dark coffee aroma with rich black fruits, shot through with young acidity. There is a touch of spice at the end. Drink from 2025. Best Buy. —R.V.
What We Thought: A big black fruit nose leads to a very soft, smooth, full-bodied palate filled with ripe blackberry and plum fruit, notes of dark chocolate, a little vanilla, and some very supple tannins.
