***94 Points- Robert Parker*** The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Quinta da Leda is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 35% Touriga Nacional, plus 10% Tinto Cão and 10% Tinta Roriz, aged for 18 months in an equal mixture of new and used French oak. It comes in at 13.7% alcohol. One of the best balanced Ledas in this group—perhaps the best—this has the advantage of youth, along with fine flavor and seemingly moderate tannins. It adds precision, finesse and focus. This is well done. It should age well. It also has the potential to improve notably over the next several years. - Mark Squires July 2022
