About

Rating:

94

The 2015 Touriga Nacional Quinta da Falorca is a blend with more than 30 clones of Touriga Nacional from three different vineyards and was aged for 18 months in new French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. Fresh and expressive of its grape in flavor, it is also very aromatic and bright. This is an elegant Touriga that eschews jammy fruit. It goes for elegance, silky texture and liveliness more than big concentration in mouthfeel. This is a sunny delight and a little exuberant right now. It is more graceful than the typical 2015, it seems. This should improve nicely with age. Whatever the final result, it is a perfect food wine, and it will be a pleasure to drink. It is quite drinkable today, but it will continue to develop. Holding it another year or two would help. There were 7,200 bottles produced.
