Quite bold and fruity while still remaining pleasantly tannic. — 9 years ago
Great wine, high acid, slightly effervescent, extraordinary value. — 9 years ago
The wine continued to get better over the course of dinner. It had a lot more fruit than I would have expected for a European wine even though it was a Syrah. — 10 years ago
Great, silky texture and dark fruit, with lots of fig. A value, too. — 10 years ago
Love the taste and silky texture; not too many tannins — 11 years ago

The marbel fermentation gives it an epic spicy side in perfect harmony with a very soft aging in new oak. Awesome! — 8 years ago
Wonderful. This was has impressively delicate minerality. Just a little acidic and warm. Lovely wine that I thoroughly enjoyed with mussels fra diavolo. — 9 years ago
Alentejano gostoso — 9 years ago
Uncorked it, splashed half the bottle into a blender -- breathe, breathe -- poured the slosh into a dainty glass, then stuffed it down with burger, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, followed by a German chocolate cupcake. Anyway, point is, I liked it. — 9 years ago
Sarsaparilla, kalamata olive and prune on the nose and on the palette. Beautiful Portuguese wine. — 10 years ago
Juicy with a slightly dry finish. — 10 years ago
97 percent Syrah from the Lisbon region. Tastes like an old school Bordeaux but with a little something-something from Portugal. Yum. — 11 years ago
Very peppery interesting. 7.70€ — 12 years ago
Liked a lot. Would buy again. — 8 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
Very tasty wine. Smooth taste with just a bit of acidity. "Jammy". — 9 years ago
Really nice way to start off dinner at ink-LA — 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
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 90 rating by Wine Enthusiast for this fruity, balanced, Portuguese grapes based Tinto (red) is well deserved. At such a reasonable price, no wonder it's sold out. If you find it, try it. I did. And it was delectable. — 8 years ago
