| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Head4Heights on 5/19/2022 & rated 95 points: Dark ruby in colour - arguably a bit of a baby, but what a baby. Ports don’t have to be drunk as they stagger on their last legs of fruit. A pronounced nose. Obviously complex. Floral, leather, vanilla, dark plum, jam, menthol smoke and black fruit gums. Pronounced on the palate too of course. Full body, lovely balance. Low acidity. Med(+) tannin and fabulous length. Drinking really well. (138 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Cooper on 5/16/2022 & rated 90 points: Served from half bottle by a friend to accompany hard cheeses. Very dark garnet, almost black. Very gluggable and appearing fresh and ready to drink. Probably would keep longer, but I don't think it will improve.

About Quinta do Crasto
Located in the heart of the Douro Valley, on the right bank of the river mid-way between Regua and Pinhao, Quinta do Crasto has been in the family of Leonor and Jorge Roquette for over a century. Nestled on a privileged location in the Douro Demarcated Region, Quinta do Crasto dates back to ancient times. The name Crasto is derived from the Latin word "castrum," or Roman fort. With its commanding unobstructed view of the river, it is not difficult to imagine why the Romans would choose to occupy such a strategic site. Quinta do Crasto produces different styles of port and table wines each year. Together with their winemakers and their entire team, they seek to produce year after year wines that display the unique and beautiful characteristics of the Douro, through a tireless devotion to tradition, integrity and excellence.Port BlendOver a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
