Here’s a great chance to try an example of stand-alone varietal Touriga Nacional – and what an example it is! A deep purple/ruby colour, the wine entices with ripe plum and raspberry aromas. These carry forward on the smoothtextured palate, where they’re joined by subtle vanilla, and lovely coffee notes on the finish. Sporting outstanding structure and balance, this impressive wine’s smoothness is offset by enough tannic grip to match rare steak or a selection of hard cheeses. (VINTAGES panel, March 2009)
