Quinta do Vale Meão Douro Red 2014

92POINTS

17/20

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe flagship wine of the Quinta, and rightfully thought of as one of the classic Douro table wines. The 2014 Vale Meão is a blend of 55% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 5% Tinta Barroca and 5% Tinta Roriz. After being crushed and cooled, the grapes were and foot trodden before vinification in stainless and maturation in oak barriques (65% new). Drinking beautifully now in youth, with a lovely refined elegance. Very complete, dense on the black-fruited, medicinal hued and sappy-tinged palate. Structured, with well integrated wood (less new in this vintage, which is a welcome move) and long tannins. Much depth and complexity in this elegant wine to last a decade easy.Tasted: 06 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
