2004 Quinta do Crasto (Sainsbury TTD)
4 days after decanting.
Quite a fresh nose, damsons, fennel and peppermint. Rich and spicy, but perhaps starting to close up. Great acidity, and very tannic. Finish has a little length, but could be longer. Not complaining, however!
Perhaps its youth makes this a little disjointed, but it is very good nonetheless. Worth a try, if Sainsbury's still have this at £15.
