This 100% varietal wine shows the Touriga Nacional well. With its bright red fruits, herbal flavors, the taste of dark plums and brooding tannins, here is a wine from a world-class grape variety. In the Dao, it exhibits more fruit, lower alcohol, and less tannin than in the Douro, but there is still enough power there. ——R.V.(11/1/2004)—— 89
