Quinta do Crasto Douro Vinho Tinto 2007

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalAmong the finest vintages of the past 100 years the 2007 tinto has a fabulously fragrant black fruit nose. On the palate it swarms the senses with rich peppery, black plum fruit with that quintessential cocoa/Christmas pudding finish. Super intense yet fragrant and with a surprisingly low alcohol level of 13.5 the result of cool nights in the Upper Douro. No oak, just the essence of the Douro. This is a special bottle.Tasted: 06 December 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
