This pure Touriga Nacional is full of black-currant fruit. Along with its mineral texture it has some good aging ability as well as the richness. Maybe a little less wood aging would have helped bring out the obvious fruitiness and fruit tannins of this wine. Drink from 2019.

There are big tannins in this wine along with the hallmark perfumes that are typical of the grape. Also typical is the one-dimensional character of the 100% Touriga Nacional. So it is rich, packed with black fruit but just missing an extra something. Drink the wine from 2020.

Possibly too much wood has been used in maturing this wine, which results in a toasty, burnt character to the otherwise ripe fruit. At four years, the wood should have mellowed.
