Dominated by acidity and a smoky character, the wine has great balance, with flavors of caramel, red cherry and sweet fruits. It shows a generous character that is attractive for early drinking.——R.V.(4/1/2011)—— 91

The nose on the Quinta do Bomfim 2006 is more masculine and reserved than the Quinta da Malvedos 2006 with tertiary/underbrush aromas and introspective dark fruits that demand coaxing. The palate is medium-bodied with very good acidity and certainly not an opulent young quinta, but edgy and tannic towards the masculine finish. It is almost austere compared to its peers and yet with impressive substance and length. Certainly not the most approachable young port, it deserves at least a decade in the cellar. Drink 2020-2045.
