Flowstone Touriga 2023

Share

Red liquorice, spice, tart mulberry – inviting, like a witch with a candy cabin. Full-bodied but gives the illusion of medium weight… a little trickster. High, rugged tannins as expected from Touriga. Meaty finish dusted with turned earth and volcanic whispers. Ripe fruit floats fresh across the palate: umeshu plums, big muscles, could lay bricks. The weight is from  fruit, no oak bloat. Would be a good, firm hugger.
