TN: Myattsfield Touriga 2016

G'day
This grape variety is commonly used in Portugal for port production; however, Myattsfield has made the occasional table wine from this variety since 2009. I've had solid examples from them up to 10 years old.
Dense deep purple in the glass. A demonstrative nose, with lots of licorice / aniseed, violets, blueberries, red fruits and a touch of mocha. The palate has more of the red and blue fruits, with soft tannins and good supporting acid. It's medium to full bodied, and has a linear flow of flavours along the tongue. Good length and palate weight.
An enjoyable wine with points of interest and difference. Probably at its best now.
Cheers
Allan
