2015 vintage fermented in all new French oak- amazing lack of oak flavor but great texture and volume from oak- the oak is not overt and the acidity is bright and delightful -lively and fun — 9 years ago

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.

Dao, Portugal. It takes a while to open up but when it does it is all mature fruit and concentration. — 8 years ago
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. — 9 years ago
Notas de frutas maduras, especiarias doces, boa estrutura, taninos redondos, fácil de tomar. Safra 2013 em julho de 2016, no Bistrô Isadora Duncan, Florianópolis. — 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.

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
Although not a grape variety native to the Alentejo region of Portugal, this red had a full body with earthy tones that pairs well with red meats and fatty fish and seafood. — 8 years ago
Currant, blackberry, tobacco...love the oak — 9 years ago
Dense, complex with a great macadamia nut notes at the core of dense black and blue fruit with a firm perfume coming through. Spicy black fruit with taught tannins, needs plenty of time in the cellar. — 9 years ago
