Quinta do Crasto Late Bottled Vintage Port Unfiltered 1998

Cima Corga, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalBig blackberry jam, black plum and licorice nose with spicy, peppery, rootsy notes. Rich, ripe, fat entry with some light tannins and warmth. Good acidity keeps the black berry jam, black cherry, licorice, peppery earthy tea flavours right through the finish. A slightly dryer, tighter style than normal but should be able to age a few years. Good intensity here.Tasted: 08 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
