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

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Very concentrated aromas, with balsamic notes of oak, ripe red fruits and violets. The palate is extremely balanced, with a lot of red fruit concentration, containing ripe and round tannins and a long and fresh finish. The floral, expressive, exuberant and perfumed 2021 Touriga Nacional expresses the floral quality of the grape and is a classical bottling coming from a property they rented in Pocinho (close to Vale Meão) planted with 30-year-old vines. They used around 25% new barrels, and the rest were used. It has fruit and concentration, lots of varietal character, keeping freshness and balance, with fine tannins. This is a wine that is very easy to like and understand. Aged for 16 months in wood, the wine is rich with perfumed aromas and a polished texture. It is elegant, its black-fruit flavors balanced with tannins. The wine is rich and still firm. Drink from 2026. A toasty red, with smoke and espresso notes underscoring flavors of baked black cherry and black currant, plus mocha, macchia, mineral and black licorice accents. Powerful tannins are enmeshed in the plush texture, and the expressive profile lingers on the finish.
