Description

Meandro incarne toute la complexité des vins d’assemblage du Douro. Pas moins de six variétés distinctes, à la tête desquelles trône le Touriga Nacional, se combinent pour offrir un nez dominé par les fruits mûrs et par de délicates touches d'épices comme le cacao fin, qui confèrent au vin une belle élégance. On appréciera en bouche la grande maîtrise de l’élevage en barrique.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2017 Meandro do Vale Meão is a blend of 33% Touriga Franca, 45% Touriga Nacional, 15% Tinta Roriz, with Tinta Barroca and Alicante Bouschet for the rest, all aged for 14 months in used French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This was bottled a few weeks before tasting. Another 2017 with big flavor and expressive fruit, this also has a fresh feel, reasonable concentration and a beautiful, long finish. It adds admirable mid-palate finesse too. It sometimes seems a bit lighter and fresher, but its utterly gorgeous fruit takes this to a different level. It looks like a super Meandro, one of the best, and a fine bargain. It should age well.- Mark Squires. 

Decanter:

Vinous red and black fruits, with a touch of bake, but still fleshy and motile. With bergamot lift, bitter chocolate and dynamic tannins, it has good structure, drive and intensity.
