Ah, the "Vinha Do Fava Reserva Touriga Nacional"-a jewel hailing from the sun- drenched slopes of the Dão region in Portugal. This splendid elixir showcases the Touriga Nacional grape, famed for its role in the Port production, yet here it revels splendidly on its own. With a rich, inky hue, delight your senses with aromas of dark berries, enticing violets, and a whisper of exotic spices, leading to a palate as layered as a Shakespearean plot-dark fruits mingling with touches of cocoa and a velvety finish. Fun fact: the vineyard, Vinha Do Fava, is tended by a producer who named the estate after a vintage bicycle; one must appreciate the commitment to endurance, whether on two wheels or in a glass! Now, for delectables: pair this ruby nectar with grilled lamb-oh, the umami! Or a rich, creamy cheese like aged cheddar; the tannins cut through the richness like a well-timed jest. It was rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast; a score as heady as the wine itself. And remember, "Why was the grape unhappy? Because it was being crushed!" Cheers! — 2 months ago

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, dried fruits, coffee, black chocolates and peppercorn.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 20 year old Touriga Nacional from Portugal. Rich and extracted. Elegant and robust.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.
Rich and in your face kind of wine. Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.
A blend of Touriga Nacional with some Syrah and Petit Verdot.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles — a year ago
