2015 Quinta do Crasto LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Decanted at 18.00 the prior day and drunk at 19.20. A dark, deep red with no rim. Blackcurrant nose, fragrant and attractive. Fruit on the palate, a lovely dark cherry yet with gentle tannins holding the wine in balance giving a lovely palate. Black cherry finish. The wine continues to show very well! 90/100. Drunk 17-Jan-23. Decanted 1 day.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
