55% Touriga Nacional 20% Alfrocheiro 15% Jaen 5% Tinto Roriz 5% Tinto Cão
The Quinta dos Roques 2007 Reserva has a brillant deep dark color with an intense fruit bouquet of wild blackcurrants and pine leaves, with vanilla and chocolate notes given by the oak. On the palate it is very generous with the astringent characteristics of its youth, foretelling a remarkable aging due to its great balance between alcohol, acidity, tannins and body. This wine will satisfy the fans of young fruit wines, though it will gain immensely by being bottled aged for a few years. In 10 years it will certainly be more more complex and the pride of the winemaker.
