Description: This wine, the second brand of the famous Quinta do Vale Meão in the Douro Superior, reached top 100 Wine Spectator with 91 pts.
"The 'second' wine made by genius Francisco Olazabal from a blend of eight local grapes, dominated by Touriga Nacional. Full of fruit and spice, fleshy yet firm with a true Douro grip and very good value. Drink 2010 - 2016."
Steven Spurrier, Decanter, January 2011
Details: Dark and concentrated colour. Very lovely nose, floral, rosemary, black berries, resin with some hints of smoke and tobacco. Shows all of its youth on the palate, full bodied, powerful flavours of cassis, mint and ripe fruit. The tannins still aggressive, but the good acidity with a pleasing structure backup, gives it a promising future.
