- 2019 João Nicolau de Almeida e Filhos Douro Quinta do Monte Xisto - Portugal, Douro (9/23/2022)
Crafted from 60% Touriga Nacional and 35% Touriga Francisca, this wine was aged in half new oak and half old oak. There is still primary fruit on the nose. The palate reveals an amazing structure, with well-balanced tannins and fruit. While it is currently too young to drink, the wine shows great promise with the potential to evolve beautifully with time. (91 pts.)
