The 2009 BRANCO, coming in at 12.5% alcohol, is all lemons and acidity at the moment, but it warms up into something far more interesting, showing a lovely, lingering finish, nice aromatics, and good depth. A bit disjointed at the moment, this should come around beautifully---hopefully in time for the summer of 2010, but as always with Soalheiro, the wine should age unusually well and it may actually improve, not just hold, thus rewarding a user who cellars it for a year or two. Drink now-2017. Notwithstanding the track record here for aging, these are the types of wines that often do not travel well and that merit some conservatism in a published drinking window. They may well last longer.Importer: Aidil Wines & Liquors, a division of Olde World Imports, Inc., Rahway, NJ; tel. (973) 642-0044
