Caves Transmontanas Espumante Bruto Super Reserva (Vertice)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2218

The 2007 ESPUMANTE BRUTO “MILLESIME - SUPER RESERVA” (VERTICE) is principally a blend of Touriga Franca (29%), Gouveio (25%) and Malvasia Fina (32%), with Rabigato (12%) and Codega (2%) added in. For this bottling, this is rather gentle this year, relatively speaking, perhaps a function of the balance and harmony generally seen in 2007. Make no mistake, though, it is not just fruity and simple. At its anticipated price, it is a very nice bargain. It provides some toast on the dry, lovely and lingering finish, along with considerable acidity, but it is mostly fresh, clean and succulent. As it warms up, its fine structure and impeccable balance become apparent. It will be interesting to see if this ages as well as some of the more intense vintages produced here. It does have the acidity, but it is in any event in a lovely, harmonious place at the moment that makes it hard to resist while young. This is branded these days in large letters as the “Millesime.” I’m advised that distribution will largely be in the New York / New Jersey region. Drink now-2017.
