2018 Quinta do Crasto

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Quinta do Crasto. Childhood blackberry picking memories come flooding back when you smell this wine. Such fragrance to the fruit on the palate, slightly green tannins give pepper and heat to the fruit. Good complexity to the palate. Blackberry sweetness flashes briefly across the mouth before the tannins return. Tasted blind. 93/100. 28-Apr-22.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
