The 2011 Mirabilis Grande Reserva red is a new brand, a small production blend of 10% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinto Cao, 10% Tinta Amarela, 35% old vines and 35% barrel selection field blend, all aged in a mixture of new and used French oak. It comes in at 14.6% alcohol. It is hard to say what to admire more about this winery - the wine quality or the marketing genius. There are plenty of both. This Mirabilis red, like its white counterpart, comes in an old-fashioned, attention-getting squat bottle. It will be hard to store, but it certainly won't be ignored. All the marketing would be in vain, of course, if the wine didn't meet the challenge. It does, showing precision, structure, concentration and fine focus. Of the three Grande Reservas here, this shows the most finesse, perhaps, projecting a silkier feel early on, with a more Burgundian mid-palate, relatively speaking. There are earthy notes around the edges that give it both complexity and character. Like all of them, it is tight |
