WINE SPECTATOR reviews Quinta do Vallado Reserve 2007 and Vallado 2007


QUINTA DO VALLADO Douro Reserva 2007
Score: 96 points
Wine Spectator
Issue: Feb 28, 2010
Designation: Highly Recommended
"Rich, powerful and finely crafted, with layers of concentrated red plum,
currant, blueberry and kirsch flavors. Silky tannins knit it seamlessly
together. The elegant and refined finish is filled with mineral, smoke and
spice. Drink now through 2016. 2,056 cases made." -KM



QUINTA DO VALLADO Douro Tinto 2007
Score: 93 points
Wine Spectator
Issue: Feb 28, 2010
"This powerful and refined red delivers concentrated flavors of plum, dried
cherry and spice. Offers a fine texture, with plenty of savory herbal notes,
followed by a long, olive- and smoke-filled finish. Drink now through 2015.
Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 15,833 cases made."-KM
