Community Tasting Note

caspernick Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 6, 2024 - This is the third time I have tasted the Crasto Superior 2016. It started out horribly the first time I drank it in 2022, the second bottle being far better so I ordered this one for our tasting group in hopes it would redeem itself. Deep ruby colored with medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). The nose had aromas of blueberry, violets, vanilla, black cherry and was a touch jammy. On the palate it had medium acidity, medium tannins and a medium body. Flavors of blueberry jam, tart cherry and powdery cocoa greeted us. The finish was medium (-) in length. I wrote to drink this bottle now as I feel the structure has nearly reached its end game. At 11 points from on our grading sheet it was unimpressive, until later. This wine opened up nicely over the next few hours and I have upgrade my initial score of 88 points to 90. We paid $24 for it and I would say it's a 4 star effort.
