92 points Mark Squires (Wine Advocate): "The 2000 Tinto Quinta do Moinho is one of the oldies this issue (in the Beiras regional appellation). This is mostly fresh, but it lacks the definition and focus of the recently seen (and completely brilliant) 2001. It compensates, though, with very fine concentration, giving this a very lush and rich feel for an older Baga. It fills the mouth. The 2000 and 2001 vintages often produce these differences--they both reflect their vintage styles. Still relatively youthful, this can hang on for at least another decade, maybe much more, but let's take this in stages. Drink: 2016-2030. (Oct 2016)"
Producer notes: "Fermented for 2 weeks in stainless steel vats under temperature control. Matured for 12 months in new and used Allier oak casks. Wine is held for 10 years minimum before release. A rich and creamy wine filled with blackberries and anise. Very deep, dense crimson color. Clean finish. Round and full. Really ripe and full winemaking care. Lovely texture."
