The iconic MdB Reserva from iconic João Portugal Ramos. Even a fine vintage.
His wines age well as a rule (even the $20 Vila Santa Reserva). Mostly Trincadeira, Aragonez and Alicante, this is unsurprisingly in fine form. Focused and precise on the firm finish, it has a beefy nuance, plus some mature hints. It's prime time and mouth-coating. Lovely, it has time left, but it has already exceeded expectations. $75 (after a price spike some years ago); 14%. #wine #portugal #alentejo
