Community Tasting Notes 8

  August 8, 2021 - more depth and complexity than I expect in a Portuguese table wine. Very enjoyable with layers of bright black fruit and subtle earth.
  Almost no tannins. Drinking well now.

  November 23, 2020 - Vino del Douro fruto del ensamblaje de variedades autóctonas de Portugal como Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca o Tinta Roriz (tempranillo). Crianza en barricas usadas de roble. Picota violáceo. Nariz intensa, con cierta opulencia, hay recuerdos a caja de puros, ciruelas negras, fruta roja en sazón, alguna apunte licoroso y algo de mina de lápiz. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, tanino intenso pero bastante pulido, acidez media y buena persistencia. El "segundo" vino de la interesantístima Quinta do Vale Meão.

  April 27, 2020 - Single piece cork,no sign of seepage.
  A bit disappointing on the first night.
  One dimensional and a bit flat.
  Second night more,interest, more alive and full of fruit.
  Typical Douro blend. Some interest but not scaling the heights.
  
  Hold and see, check back again in 2025.

  March 29, 2019 - The purple wine was somewhat wound up but had dark cherry aromas on the nose. Four hours in the bottle wood notes lifted the nose into a cola/cherry expression. On the mid palate. earth notes adds a savory character to the dark cherry and a fairly long finish followed. After a few hours the tight tannins are nicely integrated with the fruit and a bright acidity looms in the finish. As a second wine I thought this was a better wine than the Portuguese Andrezza tasted not long ago.

  February 21, 2019 - Retailer-tasting. Inviting if slightly artificial red fruit aromas as well as plum. spices, hints of graphite and wood on the nose. A little closed on the palate; red fruit, red plum, oak, some spice and some vanilla, with good acidity, fine, dry tannin and very good length. Cool and elegant, with good balance. Very good value. I liked it and bought a case. Start drinking from 2022.
