Prats & Symington

Douro Chryseia 2011

SCORE

97/100 pts.

PRICE

US$ 55 – USA

The Chryseia project began in 1998, when the Symington family partnered with former Château Cos-d’Estournel owner Bruno Prats to produce a top-quality Douro table wine. The 2011 Chryseia is their highest-scoring version yet, balancing finesse and power in the best vintage in a generation for this region. The wine is a blend of two indigenous varieties, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, sourced from the vineyards of Quinta de Roriz and Quinta da Perdiz, and is aged in 100 percent new French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTE:

An elegant and monolithic red, pure and powerful, with hints of lushness to the concentrated red plum, raspberry and dark currant flavors. This is filled with black olive and baker’s chocolate notes, backed up by grippy tannins. Finishes with refined accents of slate and white pepper. Best from 2016 through 2022. –Kim Marcus

Quinta Do Vale Meão

Douro 2011

SCORE

97/100 pts.

PRICE

US$ 76 – USA

Located in the remote, upper Douro region of Portugal, Quinta do Vale Meão is producing stylish wines from its rugged surroundings. Its 2011 Douro is a blend of native Portuguese grapes Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz, all sourced from vines planted in single-variety blocks. Winemaker Francisco Olazabal vinified the blocks separately, applying both traditional (such as foot trodding) and modern winemaking techniques (aging in French oak barriques, 80 percent new).

TASTING NOTE:

A lush, seductive red, filled to the brim with an array of dark fruit and kirsch flavors, accented by plenty of cream and spice notes. Silky tannins and molten chocolate hints add richness. The long finish echoes with mineral and white pepper details. Best from 2015 through 2022. – Kim Marcus
