Douro Meandro Tinto
2014
Bien que l'exploitation Quinta do Vale Meão n’embouteille ses vins sous sa propre étiquette que depuis 1999, elle possède une histoire incroyable. Le domaine Vale Meão est l’une des acquisitions les plus astucieuses de la célèbre propriétaire foncière de la région de Douro, Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira.

This wine is named after the majestic oxbow bend taken by the Douro river around the

The 2018 Meandro do Vale Meão is a blend of 45% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz and dollops of Tinta Barroca and Alicante Bouschet for the rest, all aged for 14 months in used French oak.

It is not a star in terms of structure—the tannins are ripe and you can drink it now—but everything else works great. It should still hold well for the rest of the decade, more or less. It did thin a bit with extended aeration, but nothing went seriously awry. As approachable as this is, allowing this to have at least six more months in the bottle would allow it to develop more. At the price point, there can't be much to complain about.
