Quinta do Crasto Tinta Roriz 1997
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe inaugural 100 per cent tinta roriz from Crasto. Deep cherry purple colour. Very ripe blackberry jam, licorice, resin, and vanilla toast aromas. Very soft and round, rich ripe concentrated style with cherry berry jammy fruit and peppery, spicy earth intensity in the aftertaste. Huge fruity full-flavoured wine from a great vintage. The varietal character is very strong and recognisable from its vintage port heritage.Tasted: 01 May 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $39.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
