PRR01 Adriano Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas 2006/08 Douro<br />

Intense, clean colour with red tones. A fresh <strong>and</strong> fruity aroma with cherry <strong>and</strong> plum highlights. Upon swirling the glass, notes<br />

<strong>of</strong> liquorice <strong>and</strong> spices appear. It has a smooth <strong>and</strong> voluminous entry into the mouth, quickly revealing its freshness <strong>and</strong> a<br />

consistent, velvety structure. Aromas <strong>of</strong> red fruit, blackberry, rock-rose <strong>and</strong> white pepper then reappear, leaving a long <strong>and</strong><br />

enjoyable finish.<br />

PRR03 Adriano Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas Collection 2006 Douro<br />

Its appearance is clear <strong>and</strong> gleaming, with a dark red colour <strong>and</strong> garnet reflections. It has a surprising, expressive bouquet,<br />

starting with exotic aromas <strong>of</strong> spices <strong>and</strong> rock-rose that gradually turn into the sweet scents <strong>of</strong> ripe fruits, vanilla <strong>and</strong> cacao.<br />

On the palate, its attack is full <strong>of</strong> volume <strong>and</strong> freshness, showing its aromatic complexity. The wine has a long, elegant finish<br />

that associates a velvety structure with balanced acidity.<br />

PRR02 Adriano Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas Reserva 2007 WS 90 Douro<br />

Bright, gleaming, intense colour with shades <strong>of</strong> red. A complex nose, in which subtle hints <strong>of</strong> orange blossom <strong>and</strong> spices<br />

give way to aromas <strong>of</strong> red fruits like strawberries, plums <strong>and</strong> cherries. It hits the palate with volume <strong>and</strong> develops a good<br />

tannic structure. The coolness characteristic <strong>of</strong> 2007 has given the wine a good balance <strong>and</strong> a long finish.<br />

PRP03 Ramos Pinto Ruby Port N.V. Douro<br />

PRP04 Ramos Pinto Tawny Port N.V. WS 90 Douro<br />

A tawny red with a topaz meniscus. The first aroma gives the impression <strong>of</strong> buoyancy <strong>and</strong> develops into a great<br />

smoothness acquired from having been matured in wood. In the mouth, it feels light, warm <strong>and</strong> very s<strong>of</strong>t as a result <strong>of</strong> its<br />

ageing. This “adolescent” is a mature <strong>and</strong> fruity Port with a complex <strong>and</strong> delicate character. Its finish is perfectly balanced,<br />

giving it a flavoursome delicateness.<br />

PRP01 Ramos Pinto 10 Years Quinta de Ervamoira Port N.V. WS 90 Douro<br />

Orange-red in colour with a touch <strong>of</strong> green. A well-rounded, generous aroma with balance <strong>and</strong> a hint <strong>of</strong> wine. Fruit aromas<br />

include orange, apricot <strong>and</strong> plum. Vanilla <strong>and</strong> old Port wine casks make up its woody aromas. This is a fruity tawny variety.<br />

In the mouth, one can still taste the fresh fruit surrounded by the ageing in wood. A good structure <strong>and</strong> perfect balance<br />

between fruit <strong>and</strong> alcohol. The attack on the palate is smooth <strong>and</strong> full-bodied. Following the initial oily feel, a fresh, s<strong>of</strong>t<br />

fruitiness appears which finishes with a slightly acidic, woody note.<br />

PRP06 Ramos Pinto Vintage Port 2000 RP 91 Douro<br />

An exceptional dark colour with blue tones. It presents a complex ensemble <strong>of</strong> aromas that combines red fruit compote, ripe<br />

plum <strong>and</strong> small-berried fruits with notes <strong>of</strong> dark chocolate <strong>and</strong> pepper. Elegant <strong>and</strong> well-structured on the palate, extremely<br />

full-bodied <strong>and</strong> full <strong>of</strong> fruit flavours, a good concentration <strong>and</strong> firm tannins that will give it great ageing potential. A seductive,<br />

warm finish that is long-lasting <strong>and</strong> velvety.<br />

PRP06 Ramos Pinto Vintage Port 1982 Douro<br />

A splendid, deep colour typical <strong>of</strong> this harvest. Highly concentrated <strong>and</strong> still rising smoothly, it has well-developed blue<br />

tones. Dense tears. Discreet, generous, feminine <strong>and</strong> well characterised by its harmony <strong>and</strong> advanced maturity, it <strong>of</strong>fers us<br />

aromas <strong>of</strong> violet, plum, chocolate <strong>and</strong> ripe fruit. Aged <strong>and</strong> wine-infused wood, a hint <strong>of</strong> vanilla <strong>and</strong> plum br<strong>and</strong>y.A smooth<br />

<strong>and</strong> velvety attack on the palate, the perfect balance between body <strong>and</strong> acidity. Notes <strong>of</strong> prune sustained by smooth,<br />

mature tannins. S<strong>of</strong>t <strong>and</strong> enveloping with a perfect finish.<br />
