The 2004 RESERVA (QUINTA DO COA) is also a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. It has sappy fruit in the mid-palate and a bit of licorice on the finish. More intense and fuller in the mouth that the regular Tintos, it is well balanced, with the tannic backbone to support the fruit. The tannins may be ripe, but with air they emerge and provide intensity to this wine. Despite its initial oak-driven lushness, it is a long way from a simple fruit bomb, and the longer it airs out, the more the oak integrates, and the wine comes into balance. This is probably the best wine I have had from this Quinta. There were 1,700 cases produced, of which only 900 were imported. Drink 2008-2014.CARM’s vineyards are located about 3 km from Spain, and right next to Quinta da Leda, the well known Casa Ferreirinha vineyard. CARM produced its first vintage in 1999. Excepting the Quinta do Coa bottlings, the wines are generally blends of up to 5 different Quintas. Most all of CARM's wines deliver bang for the buck.Importer: Grape Moments, a Division of Sintra Imports, New Bedford, MA; tel. (508) 997-0100.
