Reviewed October 2012The 1975 vintage is not a legendary one for Nacional, but the wine is still full of charm and the complexity of full maturity. The complex and ethereal nose offers up scents of cherries, cigar smoke, heather, coffee, sous bois, clove-like spices and a touch of ginger honey in the upper register. On the palate the wine is fullish, complex and intensely flavored, with lovely filigree, moderate depth, melting tannins and lovely length and grip on the finish. This is a touch low in acidity by the very high standards of Nacional, but this is a very, very pleasant drink. Drink between 2012-2035.

Jancis Robinson
Deep ruby with some brick at the rim. Not intense but much more concentrated and lively than the regular 1975. Not much structure. A tad jammy. But a very definite step up from the regular in terms of vigour. Slightly spirity end. 17/20 points. (JR)

Vinous
Dullish medium red with a sign of browning. Mature aromas of redcurrant, marzipan, smoke, underbrush and gunflint, plus a whiff of exotic fruits. Moderately dense and rich in extract. Finishes with notes of dusty dried leaves and walnut. (ST)
