First Drop Nacional McLaren Vale Touriga Nacional 2022

First Drop Nacional is quite a drink! It is rich and obvious, but there is a lot of flavour underneath the bravado. First Drop Nacional tastes of damson plums, cherries, violets, smoke, woody, cola. It sits just on the verge of jamminess. The palate walks the line of thick vs silk. First Drop Nacional has a pronounced drying finish with a fairy floss lift. Pomegranate, a hint of schist, soft tannins. In other words, First Drop Nacional is delicious. And despite the big, bold flavours, it is only 13% alcohol. It is delicious right now; it gets better with air, so a decant would not go astray. Nacional is known to improve with age, so you can put the First Drop Nacional away for the long haul.The team say to pair First Drop Nacional with hot wings.
