Quinta do Crasto Douro Tinto 2014

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalAlways consistent, this is twenty+ year old tinta roriz, tinta barroca, touriga franca and touriga naçional, aged in stainless steel (and five percent oak barrels). Strident tannins draw black plum, black cherry, stony cassis, espresso and quiet violets along the structured palate. Tannins are fine, but grippy, supporting the cassis fruit to a bitter black cherry and candied violets finish. Young, will refine further with a couple of years bottle age. Pour now with lamb.Tasted: 06 February 2017Tasted by: Prices:
