The 2003 Reserva, principally a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Sousao, opens beautifully, with a touch of game, and seductive texture. It was easily my favorite of the wines reviewed here. It has a carefully constructed mid-weight, mid-palate that matches its structure. It has plenty of tannins for aging ability, but is not overbearing or unduly astringent. Precise, flavorful and intense, it shows some brightness and a little sweetness on the finish, too. I’m not quite sure I liked it quite as much after extended aeration, and I will be interested to see if it cellars as well as I think it will, but this has a lot of good things going on with it. Drink 2008-2018. This historic estate is another good example of how new Douro winemaking is while still being old. Its history dates backs to the 18th century, but its first dry wine was produced in?.1997. Winemaker Francisco Olazabal is also the winemaker at the well regarded Quinta do Vale Meao.Importer: Europvin, New York, NY; tel. (212) 243-1236
