Celebrating Freedom w/ 2004 Quinta do Noval Touriga Nacional
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 11:26 pm
After many moons, I returned home tonight to the bossom of my family. The Fair is over and I am done.
To celebrate, I decanted a bottle of wine ... something I have not done in a month, nor have I sipped a table wine in that period of time (and just 2 bottles of Port). So with a great steak dinner planned, I opened a 2004 Quinta do Noval, Touriga Nacional, Douro DOC.
It was so satisfying slowly sipping real wine again. Delicious and so very young. I left a couple of glasses for tomorrow night as I want to see how this develops. More in 24 hours or so.
