Mark Squires 92 points! "The 2004 Touriga Nacional is unfiltered and aged for eighteen months in new French oak. Young, grapy, and very dark purple, this wine is sweet, with notes of licorice around the edges, plus plums, herbs and oaky nuances. The texture is round and soft. It is elegant in mid-palate weight, with ripe tannins, giving it a suave, debonair feel. Add the fine flavors it projects, and it becomes a very charming, rather sexy wine, a pleasure to sip and drink. I did not find many single varietal Touriga Nacionals that I truly liked in my survey, but this was one of them. I liked it more as it aired out and acquired some welcome (and needed) character to go with its young fruit, although this still never struck me as particularly complex or profound. Drinking well the next day, still seeming young and primary, its hefty price tag is up to you. Drink 2008-2017. Mark Squires, Wine Advocate #169 (Feb 2007).
