The 2008 QUINTA DA GARRIDA “ESTATE” is a 50/40 blend of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, with 10% Jaen added in. A nice value from the winery, this shows a typically elegant mid-palate, a bit of an oak tinge in its youth, good flavor and nice focus. There is not a lot of mid-palate concentration, nor anything resembling a “wow” factor, but this Burgundian-styled wine is very appealing and easy to drink, with grip on the finish. Drink now-2017.
