TN: 2006 Quinta do Vale Meao Meandro Douro

[Andy Velebil]

Found this at a local retailer this morning for all of $17.00 so I thought it would be good to try. Opened this at lunch and just finished it with a friend who stopped by unannounced. This put on some nice weight with about 4-5 hours hours of decanting. The initial lean cherries have given way to blackberries, leather, some cedar, and a touch of young oak the longer this has been open. I highly recommend a good decant for this to show it's best. A very nice buy for the price. I also picked up the 2005 vintage and look forward to comparing it to this bottle.
89 points.

Andy,
Meandro is one of my favourite wines of this price category (around 11 euros in Portugal). The 2007 has been released and in my opinion it is the best one of recent years, be sure to try it!

Daniel,
That's good to hear as I also liked this wine. I haven't seen the 2007 here yet, but I'll keep an eye for it so I can try it. Thanks for the heads up!
