  I'd say this wine has most certainly evolved since the previous reviews (2015). Dark red fruits, some sweetness, some forrest floor, rich and fulfilling, pretty well balanced and a decent finish. Reasonable value at £29

  A very nice and very fruit forward effort. The whole bunch of classical dark fruits are there: Blueberry, Boysenberry, sun warm dark red Strawberry and ripe sweet large cherries. After about 30 minutes in the glass secondary tones of sweet liquorice, cacao and old spice box emerge and speak up with a loud voice. This wine is indeed young and I have no experience what it will develop into given some time in the cellar. The palate already has a nice balance and a pleasant integration to come. The length on the finish lasts some 45+ seconds. This surely is one of those "fruit forward" but still utterly pleasant wines.

  Similar to the 2011 version, but brighter and softer/more integrated.
  
  The whole touriga range is good (creamy, blue fruited) and I find them all of a similar quality regardless of price.
