Quinta do Vale Meao, Monte Meao 2020 Casa das Maquinas
€ 38.96
A wonderfully balanced and extremely elegant red wine. Nothing is too much or too overwhelming. This wine is simply irresistible. The wine has a complex nose with many aromatic nuances without overlapping with another scent. We smell red fruit, leather, espresso, a hint of tobacco and spices in the nose. The wine is medium to full bodied with an excellent non-dominant integration of the wood aging. Now any comparison with this wine is a bit wrong, but you can best compare it with a good, elegant Burgundian who can also combine freshness and elegance.
