90 Mark Squires - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"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."
