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.
