Description

“The impressive and opulent 1999 Marques de Borba Tinto Reserva exhibits sweet fruit as well as a fat, thick, juicy mid-palate, great concentration, and integration of tannin and wood. This outstanding effort is full-bodied and rich, with copious aromas of cassis fruit, blackberries, truffles, minerals, and smoke. Impressively-endowed, with sweet tannin, low acidity, and a multi-layered texture, it should drink well during its first 15 years of life. Readers who have not yet tried some of the exciting wines emerging from Portugal need to search out this offering from Joao Portugal Ramos. This offering represents an excellent value.” (Robert Parker, Jr: Score-91: The Wine Advocate # 130 – August 2000)
