The 2007 Reserva, 50% Alicante Bouschet this year, with a surprising 33% Tinta Miuda and a large chunk of Touriga Nacional, is sharp and a bit tart, with high acidity and a certain shrill and rustic feel. That said, it did improve with air and I liked it more when I went back to it. This still has some potential for the future, but it most assuredly is not in the most pleasant place at the moment. The acidity should help preserve it, but whether it goes anywhere good is not at all clear. Let’s be a bit conservative at the moment. Drink 2013-2020. The Reserva vertical was poured at the winery in Alentejo. Admittedly, this was a somewhat disappointing vertical as the promise shown by the earlier vintages was not fulfilled. For the older wines, it raised more questions than answers. The good news is that the new vintages seem to have regrouped and they showed both more elegance and better balance.Importers: Vinum Importing, Redmond, WA; tel.
