TN: 2015 Quinta da Manoella Vinhas Velhas Douro -- by Wine and Soul

[Andy Velebil]

Snapshot tasting of a barrel sample so no detailed TN. This had amazing fresh fruit and massive complexity. Bright with a ton of grip and a long explosive finish even at this young stage. This will be a killer wine in time.
95-97 points

Hi Andy,
Two questions:
1. When did you taste the barrelsamples of this wine (and the Pintas '15/Pintas Character '15), assuming you are not in Portugal right now?
2. Did you taste the "normal" Manoella or the Manoella Vinhas Velhas ? (I assume the latter, seeing your extremely high notes)

Lucky you, for tasting these great wines of Sandra and Jorge!!

Thanks corrected the wine name. It was the VV.

I tasted them with Sandra at the Quinta back in September. No, the regular Manoella was not tasted.
