96 Casa Ferreirinha 2018 Quinta da Leda (Douro). This wine comes from one of the top Douro estates, a main source for the legendary Barca Velha. This latest release from the quinta is impressively rich, structured and ageworthy. Dark-black fruits and powerful tannins presage plenty more aging. Drink the wine from 2024. Evaton, Inc.

95 Quinta do Vallado 2018 Vinha da Granja (Douro). Thirty-four-old vine varieties in a field blend are the source of this wine.

It certainly needs aging, drink this rich wine from 2026. Quintessential Wines. —R.V.
