Macanita Reserva Tinto
-- Parker zu 2017: Parker zu 2017: The 2017 Reserva Tinto is a blend of 75% Touriga Nacional and 25% Sousão aged for 24 months in mostly neutral French barrels (but for 25% new). It comes in at 14% alcohol. This projects leanness, yet it in fact has ample concentration. It adds laser-like focus and precision. Then, it pours on the power, seeming both fresh and intense. A fairly stern Reserva, this avoids flamboyance—despite two fairly flamboyant grapes—in favor of elegance, freshness and structure. There's still plenty of flavor, though. This is going to need a little patience. As with all of the best reds here, they will likely look better around 2023–2025, and some of them will hit the 20-year mark—and perhaps more, although I tend to be conservative in listed drinking windows. This is not opulent, but it might be a long-distance runner that will one day enchant for an evening, not just a sip. (But not today. Toss it in the cellar, and don't make me call Arya Stark on you.) For the moment, let's lean up on this. There were 5,000 bottles produced. 94/100
