Quinta dos Murcas Reserva Douro 2013
Quinta dos Murcas Reserva Douro 2013
This is the Douro estate owned by Heredade de Esporao, one of the Alentejo's best known wineries.
"...wonderfully expressive, pure and flavorful. Good structure supports the blueberries and plums nicely. It is a bit tight, but the tannins are moderate enough so that you can easily drink this now. That is probably the biggest question mark of the Reservas this issue in terms of where it is going. Despite many virtues—impeccable balance, freshness and tasty fruit—I'm not sure it has enough concentration to truly reward long aging. I suspect the difficult 2013 harvest played a role there, but the winery says it got in all the grapes for this by the time the torrential rains started. Plus, the style here will lean to elegance in general. We'll see. It is certainly a pleasure to drink right now." 90 points Mark Squires The Wine Advocate
