Decanted 5 hours. Dark black plum nose. This offers up fresh dark red berries, creosote, moderate tannins, and good acidity. A touch of youthful oak, but far less than some older vintages. A very long lingering finish that is a carbon copy of the palate. Few producers make this single varietal so well, Crasto is one of them.
