Rated 17,5/20 points by João Paulo Martins in Vinhos de Portugal 2007. "A traditionally fermented wine, using foot-treading for a part and clay pots for the rest, this is the top wine from the J.M. da Fonseca-owned José de Sousa estate. It is big and toasty with dry wood and juicy fruit flavors, which set comfortably together. Very dry to finish." in Wine Enthusiast - Nov 2005
