Another Baga here. This one is aged. Very balanced and smooth, showing really well on the palate not that it's 18 years after it was made. Still in it's awkward teenage years for sure. There's a touch of a chlorine vibe with the aroma but the palate is slick and exciting. Shout out to the waitress who couldn't find the originally ordered vintage and botched getting the cork out. We paired it with grilled Dogfish and it cost about 15 euros.

Immediately after opening the bottle I was greeted with its beautiful fragrance. Dark, vibrantly light and smooth, this wine can be drank completely on its own. Delicious acidity. — 8 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

Another rare Douro Beauty, this is harder to find than most cult wines and unicorns! Beautifully expressive of place, with more red fruits and a little more opulence than the Rio. An exceptional wine and on my list of must finds. — 8 years ago
