The 2015 Reserva by Quinta do Carvalhas is a blend of 60% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca and 20% Tinta Roriz. It begins with intense aromas of blueberry, espresso bean and a touch of dark chocolate shavings. The palate is rich and inviting as blackberry cobbler, blueberry compote and milk chocolate flavors connect well with a lively acidity. Lithe and light on its feet, while showing nice intensity, this is an outstanding bottling that will cellar well for a decade or more. (Best 2017-2027) - December, 2017 (OB)
