Opaque deep purple color. On the nose, great depth of dark fruits, combined with floral overtones of eucalyptus and fresh violets. The palate is packed with complex flavors of cassis, mulberry and blackberries. The full-bodied and rich 2009 Malvedos combines power and finesse, leading to a long lingering finish. 

94 pts Wine Spectator - "Elegant, creamy and full of silky tannins, this voluptuous Port offers flavors of violet, plum and blackberry, with hints of golden raisin. The plush finish features spice, chocolate and butterscotch notes. Best from 2016 through 2036. 1,500 cases made."

92 pts Wine Enthusiast - "A rich vintage of the ripe Malvedos style. It has great blackberry jam flavors, laced with just the right amount of tannins and an extra burst of ripe, sweet fruit. For medium-term aging."
