RKS Wine 2023: Cabeça De Toiro from Tejo

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

It is not often we see a Portuguese wine from Tejo. It is 100% Touriga Nacional which is a favourite Portuguese red grape.

Aroma: Raspberry, black cherry and blackberry combine for a compelling olfactory delight.

Palate: Moderate tannins edging towards heavy. Blackberry and blueberry attack with a blackberry finish.

Personality: Forceful, beefy and muscular.

Food Pairing: Rare grilled Portuguese ox.

Cellarbility: Give this 4 years until 2027 to shine.

In a nutshell: A full bodied wine still in its youth. Over time it will smooth out. Sippable on its own but superior with food.

Price: $18.95 (Ontario).

RKS 2023 Wine Rating: 91/100.

(Cabeça De Toiro Reserva 2018,D.O. Tejo, Enoport, Rio Majór, Portugal, Liquor Control Board of Ontario # 29589. 750 mL, 14%)
