2009 Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Touriga Franca Vintage

• 2009 Vinhos Oscar Quevedo Porto Touriga Franca Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto
  Single varietal Port cask sample. Tasted as part of a virtual tasting with Oscar Quevedo. 187ml bottle. Touriga France is best known for the elegance and structure it brings to Port. This wine is a beautiful ruby color. There are nice aromas of blueberry and floral notes on the nose. On the palate there is good structure and balance, giving the wine a very elegant mouthfeel. Tannins, acidity, and red fruits are noticeable on the mid-palate and long finish. While this wine has some very nice components, it doesn't wow me, but I can see how it could contribute its better component to a final Port blend. (86 pts.)
