93 points Wine Spectator: "[$56 list] Shows good intensity, with racy cut from the get-go, letting the date, sesame, salted caramel, powdered ginger and walnut husk notes stream through in lockstep, ending with a lovely yin-yang of sweet and dry elements. Drink now. 2,500 cases made. (7/31/17)"
93 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 1996 Colheita was aged in oak casks for five years and then bottled. It has a very well-defined bouquet of dried figs, lemon rind, dried herbs and a touch of dates that soar from first opening and continue to bloom over several hours. The palate is fresh and lively. This is a more feminine Colheita with a crisp thread of acidity: lovely touches of marmalade and orange rind counterbalancing its viscous texture. It exhibits impressive cohesion and linearity to create a Colheita that has intent and purpose, full of energy and race. (Aug 2012)"
