Online Review: 

This is a concentrated wine that has fine tannins that are integrated with the ripe blackberry flavor. It is rich and dense in feel, with a succulent texture. Drink now.

Folly Review: 

Pg.  178  Touriga Nacional- According to Folly this wine is very high in body, alcohol, tannins, and acidity but quite low in sweetness. Common notes in this type of wine are violet, blueberry and plum. The other grapes were not in wine folly but the book does discuss Portugal wines. 

Pg 264- Wine folly describes Portugal as a country with unique wines and not well known outside of the country. 

My Review: 

I liked this wine. I don't think this wine was high in tannins or acidity but that might just be because of the other grapes that were in it. I thought it was really smooth and not too sweet but not too dry. Overall I enjoyed the wine. 

  I did not pair this wine with food.
