Smooth and balanced. Enjoyable with and without food, which is something that not all wines from Dão do. — 5 years ago

Sour black plums, blueberries, bergamot, wild mint leaves, cocoa, nutmeg, charred hamburger, granite dust, and lithium grease. The acidity is bright enough to cut down the aggressiveness of the tannins. Balanced but displays character throughout the finish. Everything seems to fall in place on the palate. Strong fruit and solid winemaking. — 7 years ago

What a value. Nose of leather and dark fruits with spice. Awesome density on the palate with a great fruity finish and an earthy attack. It’s a bit like a port that isn’t sweet. — 8 years ago

Un porto offert par un ancien producteur. Assis sur sa chaise il attendait le client. La cave était rustique et le porto divinement bon aujourd'hui. Merci Monsieur ! — 10 years ago

At the price I consider this to be a good bye. Again not a fine wine but a very strong performing house wine. A little on the peppery side and somewhat thinner than California wines that many people are used to. Other than that a pleasant nose and a pleasant finish. No major complaints. — 6 years ago

the nose is bursting with green herbs, musky florals and tobacco ~ the fruit is super intense on the mid-palate surrounded by plush and dense tannins ~ youthfully on point with many years to go... — 7 years ago

A cooler vintage in the Douro. And for the first time, stems were used during fermentation has created and strict and aromatic version combining rich red berries with spice with and crushed stone flavours. Still tight but showing great promise. 94 p. — 8 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.

The Portuguese are teaching me at least that blending many vines with passion can produce exquisite experiences: refined, good body, smooth Ramon’s for a young wine, robust color l, varying aromas-really changing constantly!!! — 8 years ago

My first Touriga. Potent red begging for bison prime rib. Not terribly complex, but powerful. If you don't like reds avoid this one. If you do, you'll find this one a surprising value. — 9 years ago

Extremely rare, not sold in the USA but available at the Quinta to taste and take with you. 100% Touriga Nacional from both schist and granite, the combination of both soil types adds power, structure, freshness and complexity from the schist, while the granite rounds out the wine with more body, deeper fruit and plush tannins. Well structured and balanced, this is an elegant version of TN that will please traditional Douro wine consumers, as well as those that appreciate precision and elegance matched with power and grace. We were able to taste the 2014 individual parcels that allowed us to see the components that each soil type bring to the wine. This should go 95+ as it ages, it sure has the potential to do so.
Tasted at Quinta do Vale Meao 10/16/2015, tasted at opening and 1.5 hours later.
