The red wine Quinta do Vale Meão Douro DOC, vintage 2001 from the winery Quinta do Vale Meão has been rated in 2004 with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Roriz from the region Douro in Portugal.
Deep ruby garnet, almost opaque core, violet rim, very delicate edge brightening, very fine on the nose, a very engaging network of red berries and elegantly used wood components, some black tea, here too I would go for Touriga style, has a good tartness, very well balanced on the palate, still young, has race, a wine that makes itself smaller than it is, everything is in the right place, good sweet tannins, good length, finesse and terroir.
