Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed March 2024The floral notes of this wine immediately announce Touriga Nacional. It is a dense and powerful wine showing its rich tannins and concentrated black currant flavors. While the wine does have weight, it also has great elegance and certainly balance. It needs to age, and is only likely to be ready from 2026. (RV)

James Suckling
A lot of crushed dark berries with dried orange peel, anisette and black cardamom. Crushed rocks, too. Meaty and structured with full body and racy, well-integrated tannins. It has power and energy, and is really attractive already. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
Seamless and silky, this has depth and focus to the flavors of boysenberry coulis and blackberry pie, violet and dried thyme, anise and graphite. Expressive and accessible from the get-go, this expands on the creamy palate, with fine-grained tannins and a subtle minerally streak of loamy earth and smoke emerging on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2033. (AN)

Wine Advocate
The 2020 Touriga Nacional is ripe and heady at 15% alcohol, extroverted and a little baroque, voluptuous and generously oaked—it spent 12 months in 225-liter French oak barrels, 20% of them new, 60% second-use and the rest third-use barrels. It's intense and concentrated, with glossy tannins and aromas and floral flavors from the Touriga intermixed with lots of sweet spices, toast and smoke. It has abundant tannins and a dry, oak-dominated finish. (LG)
