Barca Di Fortuna
La Fortuna
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019
Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2. The 2019 La Fortuna, Rosso di Montalcino pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment or gas. On the nose, ripe Morello cherry, bergamot, dried green herbs, fresh mint (that has gone too long, iykyk), mixed flowers, soft baking spices, dried earth. On the palate, the wine is dry. Medium+ tannin and Medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is medium+ and earthy. Seemingly a touch young, this will be better after 2024 and drink well through 2029. Already a more than good pairing with Melanzane Parmigiano. — 7 months ago

Quinta do Vale Meão
Tinto Douro Touriga Nacional Blend 2010
This is in a tie for the best Portuguese dry red with Pera Manca and Barca Velha. Very classical register, no new wood you can detect. Rich, bold, but complex and profound. Its in its infancy, we decanted an hour before. Its all good here and a wine we wish we had more bottles. Great stuff !!! — 2 years ago

Quinta do Vale Meão
Meandro Douro Red Blend 2007
One of the better years I have had of this wine. It is the second wine if Quinta Do Vale Meão, which contributed a lot of its grapes to Barca Velha in its history. 13 years later, it still has vibrant fruit, but is also developing secondary qualities as well. Can equally be enjoyed with a steak as with a meat pizza, as I did. — 3 years ago
