Quinta do Crasto LBV 2001

Quinta do Crasto LBV 2001


Good deep purplish ruby colour with a grapey nose. Deliciously complex and full fruity flavour with well balanced sweetness ensuring that it was not too much like a fruit cordial. However the fruit was quite fresh tasting with noticeable tannins. This was the first tasting of what has become one of my favourite LBVs. It is usually a bit more expensive than most but well worth the extra.
