Big #touriganacional #tintaroriz #syrah #alicantebouschet 35/25/25/15% blend. First day it’s venting off the vanilla from oak but day 2 out of the wine fridge and it’s much more interesting. Purple black in the glass. Dense bramble fruit, slate and pepper aromas, solid acidity and moderate soft tannins avoids the flabby trap. The winemaker seems to be improving every vintage. #wsjwineclub — 6 years ago

A mighty blend of Tourigas. Needs air and time to unleash. Only Portuguese people know how to deliver this type of wine. Excellent!

I didn’t find it particularly interesting when I tried it with Coravin, but that’s because it’s a full bodied wine with high tannins that should be decanted. Today I’m tasting it with a stewed roast and it is delicious. Deep ruby color = #alicantebouschet #syrah and #touriganacional warm climate #alentejo medium+ aromas with ripe red cherries, ripe raspberry and red plums. Balsamic touches and on the palate it’s dry with medium acidity and medium+ ripe tannins. Medium+ finish. — 6 years ago

Med + concentration with a light purple core and a brownish rim. The nose was young with med + intensity and complexity. The fruit was driven by stewed and dried black fruit accompanied by sweet spices, nuts, chocolate, and orange. Tannins were present along with low acid and balanced alcohol. The #port felt young and well concentrated. There was more red fruit along with a floral component on the palate. Great length. #dows #vintageport #portugal #oporto #touriganacional #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

40/30/30 % blend of #touriganacional, #castelão and #syrah ; Fragrant with wild cherry, vanilla, touch of cola. Succulent acidity, tannins that enfold your mouth and plenty of length in the finish. #portugueseredblend — 7 years ago

32% #touriganacional, 45% #tintaroriz (Tempranillo) and 23% #jaen. Soulfully deep bramble berry aroma with some peppery spice that bites the nose in a pleasant way. Nice rich mouthfeel with loads of juicy acid, a background of vanilla, cocoa and that peppery spice to finish off. I like this very food friendly wine. #wsjwineclub — 7 years ago

Tasted from #coravin this #taylorfladgate was powerful. The alcohol overwhelmed everything. I was able to get some fun prune and chocolate notes on the incredible length but this will either need some more time or a good long #decant #vintageport #portugal #port #touriganacional #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
