The Senhora da Ribeira 1998 has a well-defined nose, timid at first, but then opening up with scents of liquorice, mint and a touch of raisin. The palate is very elegant with fine, yet patently sturdy tannins. It is well knit and almost lush in the mouth, with a great crescendo of clove-tinged black fruit towards the finish. This Senhora da Ribeira is very seductive and charming. Drink now-2030.
Exceptionally dark crimson still! Smells rather of claret. Neat and round and definitely fully mature. Round and lightly treacly. Not that sweet. Sinewy.
