I've only had a couple touriga nacional non-fortified wines in my life, and they can vary widely in quality, structure, and tannin. This is on the softer side, no doubt partly because of its age, so it drinks easily.

Aromas are very reserved, a far cry from the aromatic wines I usually prefer. Lovely cocoa, clay, and homemade berry jam flavors. Reminds me of a Priorat but without the characteristic minerality. All in all solid. — 10 months ago

Light bodied, juice low alcohol wine. Strong acidity, but enough body and tannins to balance it out. Should pare well with lamb or pasta. Definitely benefits from decanting.

Had this at chef Avillez’s Bairro in Lisbon’s Chiado neighborhood. First time trying a Dao DOC wine, and it was splendid. Medium bodied, dark fruit and peppery. A nice contrast to the lighter vino verde’s I’ve had a lot of in Portugal. A bottle of this in front of me would be dangerous. — a year ago

Enjoyed a remarkable meal at the Pacheca vineyards. 10 months in French Oak. This red blend had a suitably tannic edge against well balanced fruit. Buy it if you can find it. — a year ago

Blend of 58% Alicante Bouschet, 29% Aragonez and 13% Touriga Nacional, aged 12 month in oak, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum with slight pepper spice. Firm tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and spice, nice but a little cellaring will reward! — 2 years ago
