Alianca Dao Quinta da Garrida Reserva 2008

750ML
Sku: 025115

Tasting notes

Deep ruby colour. Exuberant nose with light floral and ripe fruit nuances. It also shows some toastiness from the wood where it aged. Elegant palate with notes of ripe fruit. Full-bodied and persistent aftertaste.

Review

Dense red berry flavors. Delivers tons. Under-the-radar steal.

Rating

2008: 91 Points - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast: "Full bodied and rich, this has a juicy core followed by firm, minerally tannins and intense acidity. Wood aging adds complexity to this impressive, ageworthy effort. "

2008: 89 Points - Mark Squires, Wine Advocate: "The 2008 RESERVA “QUINTA DA GARRIDA” is a Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional blend. This bottling is often a fine value from the winery, usually aging pretty well and seeming like a fine value most of the time once the oak integrates a bit. I liked this about as much as the ’07. It is lovely and fresh, bright and able to linger persistently on the finish. Suffused with flavor, it does show some oak, but that will get better. It has some backbone, although it is well balanced and integrated. Drink now-2017. "
