I don't always drink #australianwine, but when I do, I prefer at least 10 years of bottle age. — 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.

Rustic black fruit with tobacco leaf and aged leather. Really nice quality fruit and restraint on the winemaking. Place this in California and you would pay double. These are grapes used for Dow's. — 10 years ago

Last bottle of this - concentrated fruit, acidic, barely-there tannings. Didn’t do it for me. This time, decanted at midday, drank at 7pm and different wine. Acidity backed off, tannins beautifully developed - rich and grippy. Much more enjoyable! — 10 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.
