Quinta do Crasto Touriga Nacional 1999

Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalIntense peppery licorice/anise aromas mixed with spicy sausage and black plum jam underneath. Super smooth an elegant on the palate and much less rustic than the tinta roriz but with a little less extract. Fine aromatics and styling with mostly peppery anise and smoky tea character. A sophisticated red at a sophisticated price. A new Portugal indeed.Tasted: 13 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
