Herdade do Rocim Alentejano Touriga Nacional 2021 750 ML

The 2021 Touriga Nacional was aged for 12 months in second-use French oak. It comes in at 14.1% alcohol. Fresh and friendly, this is an elegant Touriga with some understatement. It handles the wood well now, and it seems lifted and lively. It's not a particularly rich or deep wine, but its graceful presentation will make it a pleasure to drink even today, when it is very young. There is at least a little firmness on the finish. It may be able to improve and develop a bit more, but don't expect it to turn into anything very special. It is a nice value for a friendly Touriga that still is a little distinguished.
