In der April-Ausgabe 206/2013 von Robert Parkers »
The Wine Advocate« bewertet Mark Squires den ›
Marquês de Borba Branco 2012‹ von
João Portugal Ramos mit 88/100 Punkten. Nachfolgend schreibt er über den Weißen aus dem
Alentejano im Original:
„The ›Marqués de Borba Branco 2012‹ is a blend of
Arinto,
Viognier,
Antao Vaz und
Verdelho, tank fermented and aged, coming in at 12,5 % alcohol. Elegant and quite nicely constructed, this attractive White adds a layer of depth to the Loios reviewed this issue - and a Little more seriousness. Overall, it does not Show a lot of depth, but it has notable persistence on the finish and in its own right, and while it is not as exuberantly fruity as the Loios, it is quite delicious, with tinges of Grapefruit and Lemon. It has refreshing crispness and reasonable intensity. It is completely charming and lively, although it may not last all that long at peak. Chill it down to the low 50s and it should be wonderfull this summer.”
