Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 1999
Cima Corga, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalCrasto vintage port is produced from grapes grown in 100% Grade "A" old vineyards, with an average age of plus 70 years. The field plant of over thirty different varieties were hand picked and then 100% foot trodden using natural yeasts in the estate's traditional stone "lagares." The wine was bottled without any filtration or fining after two years in wood. Look for a peppery earth and licorice nose that reflects more terroir than fruit. It is super rich on the palate with a spicy plum and raspberry flavours in the aftertaste. Quite elegant and peppery with a tea leaf and dried plum skin finish. A solid effort here for mid term drinking that should be perfect for restaurants.Tasted: 24 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $59.90 | 750ml | Specialty |
