TN: 2000 Quinta dos Carvalhais Touriga Nacional Dao
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:22 pm
Found this recently at my local wine shop for $30 and given older single varietals are a bit hard to come by, thought I'd give it a try. I opened this yesterday while grilling up some dry aged steaks. Then it was lean, tart, and not very appealing so into the fridge it went. Today the tartness is gone and has been replaced with dusty leather and iodine. Still light bodied and pretty straight forward with a one dimensional dried cherry finish. Now is a good time to drink this up.
