Quinta do Crasto Tinta Roriz 1999

Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalOpen smoky mesquite and black plum nose with pepper and smoke throughout the finish. Rich smoky licorice fruit assaults the palate with pepper and a definite pruny/port tea flavours but without the corresponding alcohol. Interesting and well made but pricey when compared to the reserva. Still one must pay for the rarity.Tasted: 13 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
