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.

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

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

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

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
