The 2009 Reserva is tinged far too much with sweet oak at this point in its life, making this a blueberry and vanilla concoction with the fruit hard to find. The tannins do pop out, but the fruit is harder to find. This has usually been an excellent value point in Douro, but at least as it shows today, it needs to absorb its oak a lot more and regain its balance. Perhaps it is just in an awkward state.
