- 2009 Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Touriga Nacional Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto
Single varietal Port cask sample. Tasted as part of a Virtual tasting with Oscar Quevedo. 187ml bottle. Touriga Nacional is known as a flagship grape for Ports, and it brings great aromatics, as well as structure and tannins for aging. This wine has a luscious nose of blackberry and black plum. The entry also shows rich black fruit, and the tannins are pronounced, but not out of balance. There is good acidity, and the body weight hovers somewhere between medium and full. This is very pleasant to drink and exhibits several dimensional characteristics that make it easy to see how important a role it plays in the Port blends. (90 pts.)
