Two from this past Sunday

Post by Roy Hersh »

Two wonderful experiences:

a. 2006 Quinta do Crasto - Touriga Nacional - Thanks to Eric M. for bringing this bottling. It was outstanding and really showed nicely in a pretty solid lineup of wines. Usually the TN bottlings by Crasto need more years to flesh out. This was really approachable and delicious.


b. 2000 Quinta do Portal - Grand Reserve - I am always impressed by this wine which shows a mature under belly and is nearing its peak. At 19 Euros ex-cellars I can't think of any better QPR coming out of Portugal.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
