Written Notes

The 2018 Quinta dos Malvedos comes from a vineyard that contains top-notch Touriga Franca that Symington’s believe performed particularly well in this vintage. It contains some of the fruit that occasionally goes into the “Stone Terraces” cuvée. It has a lush bouquet with black cherries, ash, cloves and a touch of autumn bonfire and is well defined, tempting kirsch scents that emerge with aeration. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, very harmonious with a sweet core of black fruit laced with white, Valrhona chocolate and cracked black pepper, lively but very cohesive on the sweet seductive finish. Great length – this is a very impressive Malvedos.

Lushly textured and laden with steeped plum, blackberry cobbler and blueberry reduction flavors, this is both broad and deep as it moves through, flashing hints of anise, violet, licorice snap and Christmas pudding along the way. Terrific range and definition. Best from 2030 through 2050. 8,600 cases made, 200 cases imported.
