2019 Broadbent Douro Reserve

This Douro Reserve is the wine that takes your taste buds on a first-class trip to Portugal without ever leaving your dining room. Crafted by the legendary Luis Sottomayor, a Wine Enthusiast Winemaker of the Year nominee, this bottle is the perfect marriage of tradition, innovation, and pure deliciousness.

Let’s start with the vineyard—a rugged Douro landscape where sun-kissed grapes like Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional thrive. These all-stars of Portuguese viticulture are blended with precision to create a wine that’s as bold as it is balanced. With a year of French oak aging, the result is a black fruit bombshell wrapped in silky structure and a touch of toasty complexity.

Bartholomew Broadbent didn’t just stumble into Portuguese wines—he fell head over cork for their vibrant fruit flavors, drinkability, and versatility. His mission? To bring wines that balance affordability with impeccable quality. And guess what? Mission accomplished.

He founded Broadbent Selections in 1996, dedicated to importing fine wines and spirits from family-owned vineyards practicing responsible viticulture.

Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels

Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, & Touriga Nacional. Deep ruby red in color with intense aromas, hints of strawberry and raspberry, and black fruits, such as plum and blueberry. Notes of spices, pepper, ginger, balsamic, mint and a well-integrated woody element. This wine is firm, yet polished, with round tannins. Further notes of red fruits come to the fore and invite a most elegant finish.

A well structured wine, this shows minerality and fine spice, wood aging and layers of black fruits. It is a fine wine, concentrated and developing well. Drink from 2024. ~92 Wine Enthusiast

Perfumed, blueberry and blackberries, touches of cinnamon and wood shavings. On the palate it shows delicious juicy fruit, refined tannins and balancing freshness. ~91 Decanter
