Quinta dos Roques Reserva Tinto, Dao, Portugal

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4515

Intense and concentrated, full of fruit, tannic structure and richness. It comes from a fine vintage and shows the ripe fruit, rich berry and red plum character, along with a more austere, ageworthy edge. A very fine wine, and one worth keeping for 5–6 years. ——R.V.(11/1/2011)—— 93

The 2005 RESERVA shows the same nice structure as the Touriga Nacional, but is a bit more open and has a little more depth. The fruit pokes through and it is mighty flavorful when it does, lingering beautifully, expanding and coating the mouth. There is some power here, but that’s not all there is. The whole is mighty attractive, richer than the Touriga, yet quite graceful, persistent and impeccably balanced. Drink 2009-2017.Importer: Wineworth, LLC; Bellevue, WA; tel: (425) 747-9241.

A closed, dark, tight wine, with an austere, mineral character, that obviously needs considerable aging. Smoky, meaty, dark tannins are dominant here, the black berry fruit showing through the powerful structure. Keep for 3–4 years. ——R.V.(8/1/2009)—— 92
