The 2016 Branco is mostly Ant?o Vaz, with 30% Arinto and 10% Viosinho, unoaked and coming in at 13% alcohol. Showing fine concentration for the level, finesse and precision, this elegant, young Branco is in good form this year, one of the best versions I've seen of the brand. Lingering beautifully on the finish, it is dry and serious, with plenty of grip and tension for the level, but an understated demeanor overall. This is not quite as exuberant as the Mariana Branco reviewed this issue, but it has more finesse and a more tightly-wound feel to it. They are both good values. It will be interesting to see how long this stays in peak form, but it is pretty gorgeous and an overachiever right now. Yes, that's a hint.
