Quinta do Vale Meão

Meandro Douro Red Blend 2020

Blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Roriz, 4% Tinta Barroca & 1% Alicante Bouschet, aged in used French oak for 14 months, aromas of fresh dark berry flavors with herb, spice and cedar notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry and plum with licorice, cedar, espresso and spicy herbs. Fine ripe tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, cedar, spice and herb character. Nice value! — 2 months ago

I have no words. Friend bought from a yard sale for $8. Has now been open for three weeks in the fridge. Best condition wine I’ve ever had with this amount of age on it. Captivating. Unreal. — 3 months ago

Colheita Porto Port Blend 2007

1/24 High marks. Wonderful earthy notes. In the sweet side. it is better oxidizing in the bottle so some of the sugarless subsides. Plenty of caramel, toffee, ripe fruit. Outside of the sweetness which can be cloying a solid 90. — 4 months ago

Vale do Bomfim Douro Red Blend 2020

Really tasty wine, had with Spanish tapas. Smell is cherry and a weird bread/biscuit note that smells like a bakery. Full bodied, very fruity. Went well with all the assorted foods. Would love to have again. — a month ago

Quinta das Carvalhas

Douro Red Blend 2019

Deep purple in color; blueberries, plums, and dried flowers on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins, so tannic it's chewy; tastes like raspberries, violets, crushed gravel, and wet slate with a long finish. Well balanced flavors. I love it. — 3 months ago

Vintage Port Blend 2016

My 4th spin with this vintage and it's holding steady, if a little more reserved than it was in youth. The 16s were super open and drinkable young but have added more of what you'd expect in it's youth, more structure, more density, just more serious. Decant if having right away. If you can plan it, splash decant briefly and rebottle it with the cork open for 24 hours. — 3 months ago

10 Year Old Tawny Porto Blend

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Sweet nose and medium in body with high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with a nice mouth feel.

Showing red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, light earth, brown sugar, Indian spices, peppercorn, herbs and alcohol.

Short finish with Tangy cranberries and honey.

This is not my It is never my favorite port style, but it's very drinkable as a dessert wine.

I enjoyed the nose more than the palate.

90 points.

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Sediment new sludgy vs old chunky. Massive, brawny, pointing fingers and looking to pick a fight that you won't win. Maybe you can best it in five decades. Maybe. 12.17.23. — 5 months ago

Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Porto

Oak intermingles nicely w cherry sweetness. Red-orange color is perfect. Strong aromas delivered in richness. Thought I was a white wine person, but the balanced, sweet freshness of a port is becoming my new favorite indulgence — a month ago

Vintage Porto Port Blend 1940

Oceanic. Some smoke. Raisin and caramel. More like Madeira! Astounding length. Salty, biting. With almost a peppery bite on the finish. Tongue salivating. Perspiring. This heats up the body. Palate is perfect. Nose falls down a little- but this was from open bottle in enomatic so may not be the wine’s fault. — 3 months ago

@Peter Sultan almost! Wine shop in Lisbon had it in their enomatic machine. Couldn’t resist; it was 40 euros for a small taste.

This is delicious. Kind of like a Portuguese take on Loire Chenin blanc. I know I shouldn’t necessarily compare other regions to some French benchmark but that’s just where my mind goes — 4 months ago

A lovely Colheita tawny port. Perfect for sipping or with cheese, salty snacks, or chocolate puddings/cakes. There are lots of fuit aromas with a nice dried fruit flavour. — 5 months ago
