TN: 2015 Jardim da Estrela Tinto Dao

Post by Andy Velebil »

This is a 100% Touriga Nacional red wine from the Dao region. When I first opened this it was quite lean and rather uninspiring. Two hours later it made a massive transformation and was a totally different wine that what I had opened initially. Well balanced cherry fruit, medium weight, the perfect mix of light tannins and acidity, forest notes, and moderately long finish. To give an idea how much this changed after 2 hours of air, I was initially at 82 points during the first hour it was opened. However, by the end...
89 Points
