Quinta do Vale 2019 Meao

Description

96+ points RobertParker.com

The 2019 vintage has only been rated by RobertParker.com so far but as more reviews go in the scores are only going to go up. It’s another astounding vintage for this legendary wine. The reviewer even says he’s being “a little conservative” in terms of the score. We suspect other reviewers will not be and fully expect this to score at least 98 points.

“The 2019 Tinto is a blend of 60% Touriga Franca, 35% Touriga Nacional and dollops of Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca…Often seeming sensational for its concentration of fruit flavour, this adds more depth and power than the Meandro, as well as more concentration of fruit flavour. The long, gripping finish slams the fruit into the palate, but this is never particularly astringent nor really what you would call fruity, exactly. It always retains an elegant and graceful demeanour as well. As it airs out, it acquires more mid-palate finesse, too, then caresses the palate with velvet. This will be accessible fairly young while aging rather well…There has been a lot of great Estate Tintos from Vale Meão in the last decade, but this is certainly one that is going to vie for bragging rights.”
