2009 Quinta do Crasto

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

10-12,000 bottles made. Deep carmine in colour with a narrow rim. Very pronounced nose of blueberries and sweet fruit with lots of flower perfume. Gentle, lazy fruit on entry, bringing a mix of red- and blackcurrants. Gentle tannins support the acidity in providing a nice focus. An elegant style of port which works well. 90/100. Tasted 02-Mar-16.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
