| Tasting notes |
"96 out of 100....Seductive, with a deep, intense color and rich, loamy aromas and flavors of cassis, dark cherry and dark chocolate. Supple, fine-grained tannins, with a long, powerful finish of red pepper and smoke. Finely balanced and well-structured. A monumental Touriga. Drink now through 2015. 750 cases made." - WS
"92 out of 100...The 2004 Touriga Nacional is unfiltered and aged for eighteen months in new French oak. Young, grapy, and very dark purple, this wine is sweet, with notes of licorice around the edges, plus plums, herbs and oaky nuances. The texture is round and soft. It is elegant in mid-palate weight, with ripe tannins, giving it a suave, debonair feel. Add the fine flavors it projects, and it becomes a very charming, rather sexy wine, a pleasure to sip and drink. I did not find many single varietal Touriga Nacionals that I truly liked in my survey, but this was one of them. I liked it more as it aired out and acquired some welcome (and needed) character to go with its young fruit, although this still never struck me as particularly complex or profound. Drinking well the next day, still seeming young and primary, its hefty price tag is up to you. There were 750 cases produced. Drink 2008-2017." - WA
