Had this at chef Avillez’s Bairro in Lisbon’s Chiado neighborhood. First time trying a Dao DOC wine, and it was splendid. Medium bodied, dark fruit and peppery. A nice contrast to the lighter vino verde’s I’ve had a lot of in Portugal. A bottle of this in front of me would be dangerous. — 2 years ago
Portugal purchase. Very tannic. Needs to breathe more and alcoholic. Would decant next time but earthy and dry. Lovely. — 2 months ago
I've only had a couple touriga nacional non-fortified wines in my life, and they can vary widely in quality, structure, and tannin. This is on the softer side, no doubt partly because of its age, so it drinks easily.
Aromas are very reserved, a far cry from the aromatic wines I usually prefer. Lovely cocoa, clay, and homemade berry jam flavors. Reminds me of a Priorat but without the characteristic minerality. All in all solid. — a year ago
Robust fruit. What a mouth feel. — 4 years ago
Nice-cional Woo-riga! This was just an amazing wine with a full body and great taste profile. Noses black cherries, vanilla, meat, spices, peppers, saline. Taste is the definition of chewy tannins. Bloody complex flavours - so much going on for this. Just enjoy this!! — 5 months ago
Nice effervescence if a Portuguese rose - nice flavor - not dry — a year ago
WTSO. Blueberry, blackberry, currant on nose and palate with smooth tannins. Hint of chocolate. Nice acidity. Delicious. Good mouthful and length. 91 but for price point much higher. — 4 years ago
