A soaring nose of blackberry, grape skins, mushrooms, leather and vanilla that lead way to a rich, smooth, dark cherry and chocolate profile with some spice notes emerging on the finish.

Really nice wine with good bright red fruit flavors and silky mouthfeel. A little "sweet" upon entry but finishes well with brightness. Totally different from Cali wines we were also drinking but a nice contrast.

(Quinta Do Crasto Douro Reserva Old Vines) #5; VaynerPAZZZ on QPR; COLOR-dark; NOSE-little fake Hi-C action; hint of cranberry; little black cherry soda component; TASTE-it's a nice, decent wine; comes off a little Zinfandel meets Carmenere w/ a little black pepper & curry component; medium bodied, but thins out in certain areas; worried about it falling apart; tastes like a $15 Zinfandel; WS-95; GV-89
