Kind of like if Grenache was grown in Bordeaux. About to go great with some steaks. Thanks @garagiste! — 9 years ago

Estate old vineyards over 40 varieties blended or mixed throughout the plots. Nice, soft some spice. Sold out of 2011 which was a great year. Look for this. — 9 years ago

Doesn't get much better than this. Gemstone ruby hue with a tawny ring. Attractive nose, but the palate is just magnificent. Orange and spices underpinned by tar. Endless finish. I shy from giving it a 10 only because I consider it to be "life affirming" rather than "life changing." Like drinking time itself. Amazingly, it could probably age another decade or so with ease. Sheer brilliance. Bravo! — 10 years ago

Just amazing new wine from Quinta do Vale Meao and winemaker Xito Olazabal, this pure and mineral-driven Touriga Nacional shall not be missed. Floral, violet hints, great depth, juicy acidity, stunning grip and fruit for balance, this youngster has stuffing to age easily 20 years. — 10 years ago

Dark ruby red core with red edges. Beautiful nose, medium to full bodied, elegant red fruits, cherry, sauve tannins, with good acidity, long and persistent vintage. Classy wine. — 11 years ago

Meao Tawny NV (1999 stock)
From stocks that Francisco is experimenting with, these Tawny wines may or may not turn into a commercial bottling. From what I gather with discussing it with Luisa they are still tinkering with the blend and the style they want to represent as a Meao Tawny.
Caramel and roasted nuts jump from the glass and fan out over the thicker textured wine that adds oxidized notes of orange and ginger. If anything for me as good as this is it could use a little more freshness.
Tasted at Quinta do Vale Meao 10/16/2015.

And yet Another hyper smooth non-spicy Bairrada nectar. Almost 10years bottled and in perfect harmony, with light body being filled by very elegant tannins. Bairrada wines do require bottle aging to express their best. A must. — 9 years ago
