Tasting Notes

The 2017 Quinta da Leda is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional, 15% Tinto Cão and 10% Tinta Roriz, aged for 18 months in an equal mixture of new and used French oak. It comes in at 13.8% alcohol. Gorgeous, this shows the advantage of freshness. It retains plenty of power, but the fresher fruit holds up better to the tannic pop. As this mini vertical has proven, these have the structure to age. The better question is whether the fruit keeps up. It has a good chance to keep up this year. Drink 2025-2040.

The wine comes from a quinta in the Douro Superior that forms part of the blend for the iconic Barca Velha wine. This wine shows the same pedigree and richness, with a beautiful balance and restraint. The black fruits are still vivid and need to soften further into the concentrated tannins. This is a wine for serious aging…
