Quinta do Vale Meão Vintage Port 2001

Quinta do Vale Meão Vintage Port 2001 is a distinguished Portuguese fortified wine from the Douro Valley, displaying exceptional concentration and complexity. Layers of ripe blackberries, cassis, violets, dark chocolate, licorice, and sweet spice are framed by firm tannins, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long finish with outstanding ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, walnuts, dried fruits, and rich chocolate cake.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Distinct from the release of this vintage back in 2003 which was aged in Vila Nova de Gaia at the mouth of the Douro, this new release was aged at the quinta in the Douro. The Port has a distinct concentration and depth, ripe tannins and spice and a full, rich character. This bottling is ready to drink but will be even better from 2026.

88 Points - James Suckling

A chewy and slightly lean vintage Port now with cherries, plums and dry tannins. Medium-bodied, medium sweet and a fruity finish. Needs drinking.
