The brightness, most of all, makes it seem fresh and alive. The oak rounds it off while the floral aromatics are completely enticing.
This is a top producer in the Lisboa region--a good calling card here.

2013 Chocapalha CH--a Touriga Nacional from the Lisboa region of Portugal, bottle, cork, on table
This Lisboa region Touriga Nacional from top producer Chocapalha remains fresh and supple, silky and laced with blue fruits. Mostly easygoing at this age, it still wakes up with air, shows some bite and improves notably. In fact, it seems gloriously young […]

It has a strongly alcoholic kick on the back of the palate that remains throughout.

2015 Scala Coeli from Adega de Cartuxa
Back label: Alentejo Touriga Nacional
This brand from Cartuxa changes grapes, in 2015 Touriga Nacional. It opens a bit tight and sharp, with a touch of vanilla. Air smooths it out and allows it to express itself better. More cellaring wouldn't hurt. Elegant and rather tasty. Around $140, 14.5%. #wine #portugal #touriganacional #alentejo
