Note di degustazione
The 2007 Reserva is mostly a field blend from very old vines with younger vines (15 years) of Touriga Nacional constituting 30% of the blend. This is a point in the vertical where we get some freshness in terms of fruit, but this has a nice balance of that freshness with vigor and maturity. The wine has acquired some complexity to go with its depth, which gives it the nuance it was originally missing when I first saw it. The combination of concentration and structure should serve this wine well as it goes through the years. It looks poised to age well for another decade, probably much more. This is a prime beneficiary of this vertical, demonstrating both its quality and its aging ability. You can drink this now, but it is still on the upswing. Along with the 2000, it is one of the more dramatic wines in this vertical.

From Baixo Corgo, Peso da Regua. More than one parcel from Quinta Vallado. Gouveio, Rabigato, Arinto and Viosinho. 14-year-old vines. They included early-ripening Voisinho, which can easily get overripe. Aged for 10 months in 225-litre oak barrels. Bright greenish yellow. Creamy, racy nose. Fruit slightly cuts off. Some aromatic evolution. Just slightly hard at the end. (JR)
Field blend of c 45 varieties, 7,000 plants per ha. Harvest is just 300-400 g per plant – high concentration. Aged in French oak, majority new. Deep garnet. Complex dark and red fruit, fine spice, hedgerow fruit. Firm, chewy and some dried fruits but still very fresh. Still youthful and lots of fruit but not just fruit. Chewy, slightly thick texture needs to slim down but it has much more to come in terms of potential elegance. (JH)
