Was lucky to still find this value from an amazing vintage in the Douro. It really benefited from being open for a few hours.

The wine is perfectly balanced bringing rich dark fruit flavors, mineral notes and just the right amount of oak. — 8 years ago

Youthful, with power and concentration in the nose and palate. A very traditional styled Meao showing the typical style of this wine. The nose shows a mix of red and blue berry fruits, subtle spices, and barely a trace of oak. These wines are always masterfully aged in oak to impart just the right amount of oxygen and wood character. The palate is well balanced, youthful and medium+ in intensity and a fresh, persistent finish. This is just as good or better, depending on your tastes of course, of the recent string of many excellent Meao and reminded me of the 2009.
Tasted at Quinta do Vale Meao 10/16/2015, tasted at opening and 1.5 hours later. #meao #dourovalley — 10 years ago

Fruits from the highest part of the Douro, an elegant wine - this sub region is the hottest, driest and stretches to the Spanish border, it produces some of the finest wines from the region — 11 years ago

1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional Port. Final wine of the night for K's birthday dinner at Press. Supposed to be a blockbuster year for port, and it's his birth year as well. Love port, this port was awesome. Smooth, not too sweet, not too strong, balanced. Bottle still had the original dust on it from the cave in Porto. — 11 years ago

1994. Awesome on a winter night. Beautiful Persian Red color. Aroma of sweet prune, alcohol and a bit of aged sweet tobacco. Very clean mouthfeel, sweet on the tongue and more vibrant on the finish. Awesome balance. Stewed strawberries and melted tootsie rolls — 11 years ago

A nose of cassis, raisins, bitter cocoa and a touch of caramel. The taste is a syrupy and decadent assault of caramel, maple syrup and oak. Still a hot finish, but with the lower age it has more body to stand up to it. — 11 years ago
