Quinta da Lapa – Tourigal Nacional 2015 Reserva – Vinho Regional Tejo

The nose is elegant, racy, slightly powerful and offers generosity. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and small notes of wild berries associated with fine touches of fleshy / crunchy strawberry, black olive, chocolate as well as discreet touches of toasted oak / vanilla. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, elegant, straight, precise, gourmande, generous and offers a fine suavity, fat, a fine unctuosity as well as a fine acid frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of ripe / juicy redcurrants, scrubland / olive tree, racy minerality as well as hints of flowers, chocolate, toasted / caramelized oak and an imperceptible touch of fresh almond (in the background). Tannins are a bit chewy. Good length. Fine chews on the finish.
