Pelada Dão Touriga Nacional 2018

Nose is classic Touriga National violets, cherry liqueur, and earthy crushed stone. Soft and mouthfilling, it’s intensely minerally on the palate, with enough dark cherry extract fruit to keep it from being too one-dimensional. Tannins are super-soft, and there is abundant acidity.

UPDATE. A few hours later interesting notes of cinnamon are emerging.

Just tasted this with Olé & Obrigado in NYC last week. Beautiful wine. The Carrocel is also not to be missed.

Flor de Castro Douro White Blend 2022

Brought this back from a recent trip to Portugal. Only 14 euros. Fresh mineral and white fruit components. Well balanced w/o being overly acidic or flabby. Delightful wine as an aperitif yet enough structure to stand up to salads and fish. Wish I could find it here in the states — 10 months ago

So good at Paprica we bought a bottle for €23 from the restaurant. I’m amazed how cheap bottles and BTG are in Italy & Spain. — 7 months ago
