the first glass was not the same as the second. Let this one breathe for a while, decant it. It gets better! Tree bark, soil, grape skins

2017 was excellent. Great tannins that just disappeared and invite you back for more.

One of my favourites, takes time to open up but once it does one of the best wines for price on market. Baby wine of granddaddy Quinta do Vale Meao, not as powerful but a great wine on its own

Inky and deeply focused fruit. Good acidity. Short finish. Enjoyable but austere. 87 2011

Overly fruited - lacking austerity and intensity these grapes can deliver. See Quinta Nova as an alternative that's distinctly more interesting and powerful as a good food pairing. Adequate but not distinguished.
