2008 Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 5:23 am
A cask sample tasted blind as part of this review of the 2008 vintage.
Dark purple/red with a peppery nose. Medium weight with a smooth entry of forrest fruits. Good acidic backbone with fruit that just keeps on coming through to dominate the palate. Tannins come late but are big and bold. A long mouthwatering finish. A very fruit-forward port that should prove to be very good in 10-15 years. 87 points.
