May 11, 2022 - Retail $80. Heavy Bottle. 100% Touriga Nacional. It is not often that I get a bottle of 100% Touriga Nacional from the Duoro that retails a couple of sawbucks south of a c-note. In fact, including this bottle, the number stands at one. Dark in color and aromas, this is laden with dark berry fruit (cassis, blackberry, black cherry), tobacco leaf, spice (clove a go-go), and more than a healthy dose of verve. Yowza. The palate, as one might expect from the Duoro, is fruity, but really driven by the tartness and layers of complexity. When I saw 100% Touriga Nacional, I recoiled, as I feared an unctuous, huge wine, but this works on so many levels. Give me a steak, please!
