The 2006 RESERVA OLHO DE MOCHO is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah. Despite 2006 being a rather difficult year in Alentejo, this Reserva, bottled in January of 2008, is quite delicious, and perhaps a touch flamboyant. The Olho de Mocho brand represents the winery’s best fruit. It is 18 Euros on the winery’s website, reasonable enough for a Reserva. Like a lot of 2006s, even most of those that show well, the wine is likely to be early maturing and a bit softer than better vintages. Here, the wine is lush, the fruit very sweet, and there is just enough tannin underneath to give this some support. Still, it will be best approached sooner rather than later, and after an hour or so it thins out quite a bit. When that first rush of fruit fades, what is left becomes less and less interesting. Drink now-2014. Rocim is a relatively new winery, purchased in 2000. Many of the vines are newly planted, although the Aragonez, Antao Vaz and Trincadeira vines are older.There is no USA importer at this time.
