Quinta do Crasto Douro Tinto 2014

90POINTS

16^½/20

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThere’s lots of passion here thanks to constant international feedback on its wines which is why it’s a consistent little red wine that packs well above its price point. The vineyards are all 20+ years old and a mix of tinta roriz, tinta barroca, touriga franca and touriga nacional. The fruit is aged in stainless steel before a splash of old vine reserva from oak barrels is added back into the blend. The key here is freshness under and over the black plum, black cherry flavours and a beautiful, stony, mineral finish. This is wine for wine drinkers. Drink now with lamb or age it through 2024.
