Quinta do Crasto LBV 2010

Quinta do Crasto LBV 2010


Intense deep ruby colour with full ripe and fruity nose. On tasting this port proved to be superb. Rich plummy fruit flavours combined with a harmonious softness to give a satisfying experience in the mouth. With depth and elegance the experience was not short lived. Just a hint of tanin counteracted the sweetness perfectly.

Quinta do Tedo 1999

Quinta do Tedo 1999


Deep deep ruby colour but clear like a tawny. The nose was pleasantly soft and fruity. Tasting revealed a full bodied yet subtly fruity port. Barely detectable tannins showed that this had reached the perfect point for tasting. Subsequent mouthfuls built up the feeling of the unctuous yet sweet plummy softness of a port in its prime.
