The 2007 TOURIGA NACIONAL is the pick of this winery’s lineup this issue, charming and a very good value. Elegant, yet beautifully structured, this smooth and graceful Touriga is nuanced by plums and herbs. It has some character and complexity, intensity and a backbone. It is a lot of wine for the price, lacking some mid-palate concentration, but otherwise pretty respectable in its price range. Drink now-2016. I had a nice little vertical of the Touriga Nacional at the winery this Summer. They probably showed best in the 3-6 year age range, but the older wines were all still alive and drinking nicely going back to the first poured, the 1997. Considering the price point here—up and down the lineup, the prices are right for generally pleasant wines—that is a pretty respectable performance. They deliver some bang for the buck.Importer: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt. Vernon, NY; tel. (914) 664-3155.
