Casa Burmester Touriga Nacional 2009

16.5 / 20
Producer: Burmester
Region:Douro
Country:Portugal


A really good example of what Touriga Nacional can offer, the bouquet here is very intense, filled with flowery, violet notes along with a strong presence of sweet raspberries. Overall, the nose exposes a very young, powerful wine.


The same impression is conveyed by the palate. Structured and mouth-fiIIing, the flavors gravitate between the same flowery impressions as in the nose joined by a more caramel, sweeter side. A very good acidity helps to keep the taste from becoming too intense. Strong powerful finish that makes the wine linger for a long time in the mouth.


I'd wait a couple more years for this one. It still needs to tame down a bit and I'm curious as to how it will evolve.
