2010 Quinta do Crasto
Deep red, very dark, opaque centre. Closed on the nose showing little other than some scant blackcurrant. Nice texture, initially wonderfully fragrant on the palate before a powerful acidic core drives through. There is a lovely fragrance to the wine and fruit which promises a wonderful complexity. The fresh, grassy and attractive fruit aftertaste leads to a great black chocolate and sour cherry finish. Very tasty. 92/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
