Alvaro Castro Branco Reserva
-- Katalog: -- Parker: The 2010 BRANCO RESERVA is a blend of 50% Encruzado with 30% Cerceal and 20% Bical, from Castro’s Pellada and Saes vineyards. Normally, when you think “Reserva,” you expect it to be bigger and more “everything” than the regular Branco. If anything, this Reserva initially seems more refined and more delineated, with a lovely finish and a remarkably graceful and sunny demeanor. This is beautifully done, with finesse to spare. It is with air and warmth that it separates itself. After the regular Branco finally thins and becomes simpler, this still seems to be improving. With time, they will separate themselves even more, but right now it is a tossup. It will be interesting to see how well this crisp, but solid Reserva ages. 91/100
