Descrição

Este tinto é elaborado com as uvas clássicas e autóctones do Vale Meão: Touriga nacional, Touriga franca, Tinta barroca e Tinta roriz. Trata-se de um dos vinhos mais galardoados da casa, que conta, além disso, com a opinião favorável da crítica: os seus 95-97 pontos Parker assim o confirmam. Na prova encontramos um perfil muito elegante e desfrutável. Autêntica maravilha de vinho que irá melhorar e muito com alguns anos de guarda.

Avaliação dos peritos

The Wine Advocate:

The 2016 Tinto is an equal blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca with others filling out the blend, all aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. Set for bottling in a few weeks after this tasting, this was the final blend. The winery is using some stems now for a little extra tension, winemaker Xito Olazabal said. He said this vintage was a big surprise, producing pessimism early on but changing in barrel. This touches all the bases. This looks like a star in the vintage. What would you like? Texture and finesse? Vivid, expressive and delicious fruit? Fine structure? Check all those boxes. It has a long finish as well, showing some tannic pop and intensity of flavor. It's fresh and will make a great food wine as well. It is a little backward now, however, so give it a few years in the cellar. It will show a lot better around 2023-2025. Then, it should age well.
