Elizaveta rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great wine for cold, rainy day.
It was one of this rainy days in Vancouver. I urgently needed a warm, savoury wine to cheer me up. Portugal was perfect for it. Douro is always best value for a great price, win win. I bought Porca de Murca Douro, Tinto 2013 for $15, isn't it great? Can't wait to open and enjoy it. Wow, I looked at the color in the glass...attractive garnet with hint of spice and ripe cheery flavors made me smile. It was exactly what I was looking for. Velvety texture of this wine, covered my mouth and juicy sensation brought up even more fresh red fruits and complexity. Medium tannin feel a little bit out of balance with 13% of alcohol, but cleansing acidity balanced it up in the finish.
Simple, affordable and good balanced.
Definitely drink now.
Cheers.
