Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 40% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz. Made from old-vine grapes(45yrs.), showing dark fruit, baking spice and mocha aromas and flavours with long spicy fruit finish. Enjoy with game, hard cheeses.

David Lawrason

This mid-weight, fairly dense, smooth red shows very deep colour. The nose blooms with violets, sweet candied plum fruit and a touch of oak. Very floral actually. It's quite mellow but nicely contained by fine tannin; with very good to excellent length. Give it two years. A charmer, but may hold well in the cellar. Tasted February 2015

Natalie's Review

Delaforce Real Companhia Velha Touriga Nacional 2012, Douro D.O.C., Portugal: A full-bodied, generous Portuguese red wine with mocha and toasty oak on the nose. Black plum and raspberry with dark spices on the mid-palate and finish. Long finish on this D.O.C. wine. There's been a revolution in dry red wines from Portugal: try this one and you'll know what I'm talking about. This particular wine hails from a well-known producer of port, the fortified dessert wine. Drink: 2014-2018. 324517 14% XD 750 mL $22.95 Score: 92/100. February 21, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
