The 2007 GRANDE RESERVA (VERTICE) is a blend of Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, with 15% Touriga Nacional added in. It was aged in 50% new and 50% used oak for 16 months. The alcohol just exceeds 15% according to the data sheet I received, although the label indicates a little less. It generally handles it well, although it is noticeable on occasion. While it opens with intensity, an hour or so of aeration softens it rather quickly. It still shows grip on the finish, but the texture is smooth and the fruit is exceptionally flavorful. The mid-palate concentration is modest, and the wine thins a bit quickly with aeration. I’ve been less impressed by the dry wines from this estate than the sparklers, but this is pretty nice. There were 14,666 bottles produced. Drink 2010-2019. Importer: V.O.S. Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 967-6948.
