Casa Ermelinda Freitas Touriga Nacional 2012 Review

This Portuguese red is all about power, from the dark, thick black cherry and mint chocolate aromas on the nose to the grippy, mouth-coating tannins on the palate. Dense and fruit-forward, the palate matches the nose but with added, acid-driven brightness. Those who prefer their reds big and bold will enjoy trying something new with this bottle.
