The 2016 Reserva is a 60/40 blend of Touriga Nacional and a field blend from old vines, aged for 18 months in 60% used French oak. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. This was just bottled when tasted, but this was actually a tank sample taken just before bottling. Showing big, ripe fruit and a fresh feel, this has plenty of concentration and some power on the finish. Yet at the same time, it is surprisingly elegant and lively this year. Beautifully done, this looks like a fine and refined La Rosa Reserva, with some ability to improve and develop in the cellar. It may well close down, but this sample was very accessible.
