Quite a sweet attack on the palate with figs and spice. There are very fine-grained tannins and notes of graphite and tobacco. This will end up a very complex wine without having to wait too long. It finishes well with no bitterness or drying. (CW 17/05/18)

Jancis Robinson
The brand that came with the Symington purchase of Graham`s in 1970, and associated with the 5-ha Quinta de Madalena in the Rio Torto Valley. That super-deep Sym crimson again. Very luscious, appealing nose. Smooth and sweet, a sort of cadet to the big guns initially but then freshness and polished tannins (masses of them) kick in. Rather inky, almost bitter on the end. Leathery. Drink 2033-2055 17+ points
