Q Grande Reserva 2015
91/100
Mark Squires
The 2015 Q Grande Reserva is half Touriga Nacional, plus 30% Touriga Franca and 20% Tinta Roriz, all aged for 12 months in new French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a very refined Grande Reserva, with elegance and a bright feel. It finishes with flavor and a little vanilla from wood. The mid-palate is not fleshy, but it shows good finesse. The tannins are very ripe, not interfering with the overall impression of elegance. This has some room to grow, even though it is approachable right now. Despite the intensity of flavor, it is not even a little jammy. It has a nice crisp edge and is nicely structured. August 2018.
