“The 2015 Reserva Old Vines (the first since 2012, the 2013 and 2014 not being up to snuff) is a field blend from old vines, but roughly 45% each of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca. It was aged for 18 months in a 70/30 mixture of new and used French oak and comes in at 14% alcohol. This takes the profile of the regular Tinto and adds welcome depth and power to go with the elegance and flavor. Its mid-palate finesse will serve it in good stead as it ages. It has a very refined and sophisticated feel. Too tight on the finish to drink just now, this is potentially impressive, but it really needs a couple of years in the cellar, at least, to come into better balance and become more expressive. Admittedly, this has some questions to answer in the cellar, but there is a good chance this could be the best Reserva Old Vines yet, mingling fine fruit with excellent balance and structure.”

“The 2015 Reserva Old Vines (the first since 2012, the 2013 and 2014 not being up to snuff) is a field blend from old vines, with roughly 45% each of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca (among other things). It was aged for 18 months in a 70/30 mixture of new and used French oak and comes in at 14% alcohol. This is one of those wines that emphasizes old-school finesse in the mid-palate. It is more concerned with avoiding jamminess than making a "look at me" impression. The oak is making it a little creamy right now, but that will subside. In the meanwhile, it's pointed, focused and structured, a wine with a Bordeaux-like feel. The elegance here makes this beautiful. The structure will give it a long life. You can approach this now if you must but coming back around 2021 or so would be a much better idea.”
