Wine Tastings -- Barao de Figueira Tino Reserva

Name: Barao de Figueira Tino Reserva
Variety: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca
Region: Beira
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $12


Critic review: From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure streak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017. –Wine Enthusiast


My review: This wine had strong scents of coffee and chocolate. There were also floral notes mixed in. On the palate the wine was consistent. It had a creamy mouth feel with a spicy, berry  finish. The tannins were not overwhelming.
