1987 Quinta do Crasto vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Clear, ruby colour with the colour of the rim consistent with the rest of the port. Youthful nose, with some cranberry sharpness. Sweet fruit in the mouth, a lovely structure and nice development. There is still enough tannin to keep the port developing further in the cellar. Quite light bodied. Delicious. The aftertaste is a little low key, but is warm and sweet. 91/100. Drunk 29 June 2009.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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