I couldn't believe my luck when this appeared on the shelves of our local supermarket under their own label as I was well aware of Quinta do Crasto's reputation. This had a dark ruby but not particularly intense colour. The nose was rich and fruity above the alcohol. On tasting it was pleasantly sweet and fruity with lots of tanin, which became softer after 24 hours in the decanter. In view of the special offer price and using up all my Nectar points, I bought as much of this as I could the following year for the cellar. I will look forward to enjoying it in another 5 years or so when the tanins have mellowed out.
