Alicante Bouchet I am told. Very nice! — 8 years ago
Vinho português muito bom, num estilo mais encorpado do que os portugueses em geral. Taninos muito presentes, bom potencial de guarda. — 8 years ago
Great new young red from Douro with a light body but dry finish. Goes well with red meats & game. — 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
2013 vintage. Excellent Shiraz. — 10 years ago
Um dos exemplares mais elegantes do Eduardo Zenker, equilíbrio absoluto de aromas. Elegante, sanguíneo e com fruta delicada. Vinho leve, poderia ter mais acidez ou taninos, mas representa de maneira fabulosa a qualidade de um merlot brasileiro mais delicado, clássico. Surpresa boa! — 11 years ago

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
So light! So fresh! So grapey! — 8 years ago

Great, silky texture and dark fruit, with lots of fig. A value, too. — 10 years ago
Trabalho incrível do Eduardo Zenker! Espumante muito equilibrado, fruta em alta, zero madeira, glou glou glou! A primeira garrafa abriu sem querer a temperatura ambiente e mesmo assim deu para se servir uma taça sem nenhum desconforto! @Marcelo Maia Rosa — 10 years ago

Dao, Portugal. It takes a while to open up but when it does it is all mature fruit and concentration. — 8 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.
