Quinta do Vale Meão
Monte Meão Vinha dos Novos Touriga Nacional
Douro, Portugal
Charming and drop dead gorgeous, inviting and ever so drinkable, yet wit a deep complexity and a mineral spine that is luring you into its vinous womb.

I loved how aromatically intense this wine was!

Soaring aromatics composed of flowers, racy dark berries, spicy minerality with supportive oak in the background. Elegant and full of finesse, this presents an unusual gracefulness in Duoro reds. It's a wine that, once again, shows the amazing diversity of this stunning place.

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.

Just amazing new wine from Quinta do Vale Meao and winemaker Xito Olazabal, this pure and mineral-driven Touriga Nacional shall not be missed. Floral, violet hints, great depth, juicy acidity, stunning grip and fruit for balance, this youngster has stuffing to age easily 20 years.

В аромате топленный шоколад, джем из слив и вишни. Полное тело, во вкусе чернослив, горький шоколад, рассольные тона. Высокая кислотность, агрессивные танины. Качественно, несколько зажато, без яркой индивидуальности. 16/20
