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.

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! — 11 years ago

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

Lovely aroma of red berries, lingonberry and a little oak. Smooth flavor and a really good wine for mingling as well as with food. — 10 years ago
