Tasting- Boas Vinhas Tinto

Name: Boas Vinhas Tinto
Variety: Touriga Nacional
Region: Beira
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $9.95
Shop Review: Deep bright violet and red color. rich in aromas of red fruits as plums and strawberries. Its intense yet docile and fleshy taste fills the palate without roughness, leaving a pleasant sensation.

My Review: The first thing I noticed with I tasted this wine were smokey notes.  There was a strong tobacco flavor, the intensity of which masked a lot of the fruit flavors described upon first taste.  I did not particularly care for this wine.  I had it alone without food.
