Luis Pato “João Pato” Touriga Nacional 2005

Here is another wine from Luis Pato. He must be a busy bloke, it looks like he makes about 20 wines.  This one is 100% Touriga Nacional, thats about all I know about this one at the moment.  But I do know that all of the Luis Pato wines seem very good structure and length, it seems to be part of the house style.

Nose of mocha, red current and raspberry, smoke, some nice violets and a faint wiff of freshly baked biscuits.  Oh and a handful of herbs. In the mouth there is some pepper and clove with juicy red cherry and blueberry with a touch of cola.  Quite structured with good acid and firm tannins.   A long tangy finish with a blast of cherry. You could drink now or over the next 5 years. 89 Pts.
