"The 2007 Quinta da Leda is one of the library wines revisited this issue, typically a roughly equal blend of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, with a dollop of Tinta Roriz. Every time I see this, I love it more. It is improving steadily. Simply gorgeous these days, it has now added expressiveness to the concentrated fruit. Don't forget the freshness and fine structure. Elegant, but piercing and penetrating, this is a very fine and frequently stunning Quinta da Leda that seems to improve steadily in the cellar."
