Vintage Wine Tastings: Barrio de Figueira 2013





Name: Barao de Figueira



Category:Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca


Region Beira, Portugal


Year: 2013

Price: $12

Winery Review:From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure streak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017.

My Review: When I first took a whiff of this wine, I could smell berry and spicy scents. I am not a fan of spicy red wine which made me not like this wine. It was medium- bodied and had a very dry taste to it. It was pretty strong and therefore I would love to try this with juicy red meat.
