Quinta do Crasto Douro Vinho Tinto 1998
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalIntense young nose with cherry, plum, spicy white pepper, earth and clove aromas. Ripe cherry, plum fruit in the mouth with licorice, spice and pepper tones. Supple and well balanced, not as rich and powerful as the '97 so will drink sooner but very good nonetheless.
