The 2018 Duas Quintas Reserva is a 68/18 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with Tinta da Barca for the rest, all aged for 18 months in 30% new wood of various sizes, including large vats. As a result, it handles the wood beautifully and seems rather pure. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. Beautifully structured and exquisitely balanced, this is a little understated—nothing hits you over the head—but it lingers on the finish and seems very refined. It shows off good mid-palate finesse. For this to prove its point, ultimately, it will need a few years in the cellar. It seems like the type of wine that will drink relatively well young—although it needs to become more expressive—but also age effortlessly, perhaps better than anticipated. It will be something that is perfect for the table.
