The 2017 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. This was a couple of weeks from bottling when seen, but it was the final blend. Fresh and possessed of vivid flavors, this also has big power and fine concentration without ever becoming jammy. A beautifully balanced and lively red, this does everything well and has not a hair out of place. There have been denser and more powerful Reservas from La Rosa but few as enlivening as this one.
