Dense, structured and powerful, the wine has layers of black fruits that balance the immense tannins. The wine is just mature, generous and ready to drink.”* Wine Spectator, Gillian Sciaretta, USA | 90 / 100 points *“A concentrated, broad red, boasting cherry tart and raspberry reduction notes, richly accented by milk chocolate, hot stone and licorice undertones. Details of floral and herb linger into the tannic finish.”* Revista de Vinhos, José João Santos, Portugal | 16.5 / 20 points *“Dark ruby. Floral notes followed by blackberry, black plum, blueberry, brief vegetal, spices and balsamic. Dry tannins, good body and good acidity, firm structure, elegant finish with a hint of coffee bean. Precise, with a classic matrix.”* 2019 Robert Parker – Wine Advocate, Mark Squires, USA | 92 / 100 points *“The 2015 Reserva Cartuxa is a 70/30 blend of Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira, aged for 15 months in new French oak. It comes in at 14.5 % alcohol. Far more elegant and graceful than the regular Tinto, this is equally powerful but not as jammy, not as dense and far fresher. Here, the fruit is expressed better. There is still intensity of flavor, without the same heaviness, without the same stolid demeanor. It’s tightly wound and beautifully balanced. This is nicely done.”* Decanter World Wine Awards, United Kingdom | Silver | 90 / 100 points *“Chocolate, sweet plums and black fruit spices. Full‑bodied and concentrated with savory tannins that balance the generous nature.”* Vinho Grandes Escolhas, João Paulo Martins, Portugal | 18 / 20 points *“Dense and deep aroma, with a lot of dark fruit – black plums and blackberries, balsamic notes with chocolate and smoke, and a profile still developing where the grassy notes also have a place. Enveloping and warm on the palate, but with very polished tannins enveloped by the body, this is an excellent example of a great Alentejo red.”* Vinum Wine Magazine, Switzerland | 17 / 20 points *“Notes of forest berries, cassis, elderberry and plums, also mineral‑salty notes and oak spice present. In the beginning sweet extract, then firmly built with present tannin. Full‑bodied, still a bit strict, but classy.”* Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, Belgium | Gold Inky dark fruits with a long rich concentrated palate with cloves and pronounced fruits. Concurso Vinhos de Portugal, Portugal | Silver Inky dark fruits with a long rich concentrated palate with cloves and pronounced fruits. 2017 International Wine Challenge, United Kingdom | Silver Inky dark fruits with a long rich concentrated palate with cloves and pronounced fruits. 2016 Berliner Wein Trophy, Germany | Gold Inky dark fruits with a long rich concentrated palate with cloves and pronounced fruits. 2011 Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding MW, United Kingdom | 17 / 20 points *“Dark crimson. Dark and refined on the nose. Dense and has both fruit and savory characters that blend beautifully. Paper‑fine but serious tannins. Refreshing. This is the stuff.”*
