Paulo Castro Vinogrande – 91/100 Points

Among the labels that best represent the quality and identity of the Douro, Cistus Reserva 2023 stands out as one of the region's most consistent and recommendable choices.

It has a deep, concentrated ruby colour, anticipating the aromatic intensity in the glass. On the nose, expressive notes of ripe blackberry and black plum stand out, wrapped in delicate floral hints of violet. The complexity grows with elegant nuances of vanilla, cocoa and subtle balsamic notes, adding depth and sophistication.

On the palate it's full-bodied and structured, with firm but perfectly integrated tannins giving balance and texture. The finish is long, persistent and harmonious, leaving a pleasant memory of ripe fruit and sweet spice.

A wine of strong character that shows the Douro's potential and pairs superbly with grilled red meat, oven roasts and firm, strongly flavoured cheeses.

Score: 91/100
