CARM Grand Reserve Red 2018
93 pts Robert Parker - The Grand Reserve's nose is very fresh and intense with notes of wild black fruits and black cherries balanced with seductive hints of liquorice. The aromas become more complex due to subtle notes of vanilla from the wood. In the mouth, the wine is fabulously concentrated, and has firm tannins and a smooth texture. The very persistent finish, strongly displays the intensity of the wines of the Douro Superior.
