From Quinta do Crasto. Magnum. Deep red, youthful and opaque. Restrained on the nose, showing a little hot fruit. Smooth in the mouth, full of dark cherries with a dry charcoal undertone. A big palate presence with a great floral structure. A lovely elegance and great persistence to the finish. 90/100. Drunk 24-Nov-15. Decanted 7 hours.
Drunk at Otto's on 24 November 2015.
