To the best of my knowledge I've never had this before which was why I recently picked some up on a whim. 100% Touriga Nacional, I was really impressed by this wine. Lots of vibrant cherries, tons of cedar and spices, a good dose of forest floor and moss sneaking in on the finish, and some soft tannins still poking through. A wine which has an elegance and primary fruit to it that reminded me of Burgundy but with background flavors more in line with an middle age Bordeaux. A combination that works very well together in this wine.
