Quinta do Crasto Touriga Nacional 2005
Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalCrasto was the first producer in the Douro to release a single varietal wine. The current edition like all other is declared whenever winemaker Dominic Morris sees fit to issue one. The colour is pitch black. The nose is intense with sweet black fruit nuances mixed with pepper and anise. This TN is gaining cult wine status globally with only 15 six packs going to any one country. Made by foot and hand this is a heavily extracted rich red with fine aromatics and believe it or not some finesse in the finish.Tasted: 06 December 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $78.50 | 750ml | specialty listing |
