2011 Quinta do Vale Meao Tinto Douro Portugal

(96 Points -- Wine Enthusiast)

This is concentration in a glass. The wine, from a fine vintage, is hugely rich, very dense and tannic. All this power, though, is not at the expense of elegance. The wine has great style and a sense of place, with a strong mineral character. It almost tastes of the granite and old rocks of the vineyard. Keep this wine and don't drink before 2019. — Roger Voss
