Quinta do Crasto Douro Touriga Nacional 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Deep in color, almost opaque, enhanced by attractive purple hues. The nose displays a fresh and vibrant aromatic expression, showing delicate notes of violets and wildflowers, in harmony with pure notes of wild berries. On the palate, it reveals precision and harmony, with an immediate elegance that gives way to a firm, engaging texture. The polished and refreshing tannins support a cohesive whole, culminating in a long, lively, and promising finish. This is a wine with grit and sophistication, envisioned to evolve with distinction over time. The 2021 Touriga Nacional has the advantage of the cooler year, and the wine has a little less alcohol, 14%, and more freshness. It's still quite generously oaked but the lower alcohol and higher acidity and more freshness make it come through as better balanced and with more integrated oak. They selected the best grapes, from two plots planted in 1984 and 1985, destemmed and fermented separately with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. It matured in French oak barrels, 85% of them new.Rating: 94+
