TN: 2012 Quinta do Crasto Reserva Old Vines Douro red
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 8:28 am
2 hrs decanting. Dark red colour with light rim. Pleasant subdued aroma of berries, oak and minerals = typical Crasto Reserva aroma. Medium to full body. A bit tannic at start, relatively powerful and also a little bit smooth. First impression of this bottle is that it is not as “big” as the recent vintages. Maybe slightly "thinner" than normal at middle part. Medium length aftertaste. 91 pts.
