88 points Wine Spectator: "Juicy and crisp, with concentrated wild plum, boysenberry and smoked meat flavors. Medium-grained tannins bolster this midpalate, carrying into the finish. Drink now. (2/29/12)"

87 points Mark Squires (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Prazo de Roriz is principally Tinta Barroca (36%) and Tinta Roriz (31%) with 10% Tinta Francisca, 9% each of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional and a smattering of other grapes. Despite the name of the wines, some of the grapes also come from Perdiz, not just Roriz. This year’s version is ripe and meaty, not particularly concentrated, but nicely textured and well balanced. I’m not sure I’m as impressed by this as the last two vintages, but it still drinks well and may yet improve -- something I’ve seen before from this subtle but persistent bottling--and it is tasty. Drink now-2017.

Quinta de Roriz has recently come under the ownership of Prats & Symington, which is what the 'P+S' on the label references. The Symingtons, of course, have been involved in this Quinta for many years, their winemaking team being long responsible for many of the Quinta’s wines. As part of their reorganization of vineyards and branding, the Prazo de Roriz, previously listed under Quinta de Roriz, is now part of the P&S stable and labeled as such. (Dec 2011)"
