What critics say about Portuguese wines:
“For the Next Big Thing, Look to Portugal”
Eric Asimov, Chief Wine Critic for the New York Times, Oct. 2005
“…Portuguese wines today, especially from the Douro Valley, are at a level approaching and sometimes surpassing that of top Bordeaux crus and many of Napa’s cult cabernets…”
Josh Raynolds for Stephan Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Mar/April 06
“Miracle in the Douro”
Kim Marcus’s article in Wine Spectator, Jan 2006
