Re: What Douro wine have you purchased this week...
David,
I just opened one in March. Still in remarkably great condition and extremely youthful given 17 years. How many did you find? I think I am down to just 2x 750 and 1x 1.5 but it is as good as any Crasto I've ever tasted, which is saying a lot.

That's a real nice price! Most of the time it is around 60 euros and more!Roy Hersh wrote:6 bottles of 2016 Coche at 48.5 Euros.
Got 6 Coche and 6 Bucaco but with the Canadian dollars... not such a nice price

I found 6 at auction and won 5 of them. I have opened one up and it was surprisingly young! Maybe the best Crasto ever!Roy Hersh wrote:David,

Re: What Douro wine have you purchased this week...
Quinta do Barão Carcavelos Última Reserva, unknown year, but it has a DOC sticker with "Decreto Lei Nº 246/94" followed by guarantee bottle number. 1994 seems a reasonable guess from the condition of the bottle.

Re: What Douro wine have you purchased this week...
Found some 2014 Quinto do Crasto Reserva Old Vines for C$21 (about US$16) which is about half price I reckon. Not the best vintage but should be nice for current/midterm drinking.
