3 bottles in original wooden box Robert Parker: 93/100 points In the years when Barca Velha is not released, Reserva Especial is born. This Casa Ferreirinha Reserva Especial 1990 shows a deep ruby color with slightly brownish nuances, reflecting its more than 30 years of aging. On the nose, it stands out for its aromatic complexity, with intense notes of ripe red and black fruits, resin, cedar, cigar box, and floral nuances, wrapped in hints of stone, black pepper, clove, and discreet, well-integrated French oak. On the palate, it reveals an elegant and structured attack, with excellent quality tannins, well-balanced acidity, and flavors that combine dark fruits, hints of pepper and cocoa, culminating in a long and very elegant finish. It is a red wine of great personality, reflecting the classic and refined character of the Douro.
