Quinta do Crasto Late Bottled Vintage Port 1996

Cima Corga, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe Crasto is unfiltered (and bottled in 2000) which explains its dark and robust colour. The nose is advanced for its age, showing pruny, rancio aromas with earth and candle wax. Smooth and well balanced it has a wonderful fruit cake, cedar and dried cherry flavoured finish.Tasted: 01 May 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
