Wine #14: Touriga

Vintage really does make a big difference in taste. I had this wine a few years ago and it was one of my favorites. I have it again and it is considerably less impressive. Perhaps I have just had more wines and am more educated about what makes for a good bottle. The varietal is a Touriga. There are two Tourigas, and I don't know which one this is.
