TN:2005 Quinta do Crasto Old Vine Reserva Douro Red
My next to last bottle of this wine. Very good color. No bricking at all. A subtle nose of blackberry, mushroom, and herbs. It smells almost more like a sauce than a wine. Subtle entry. Not too concentrated. Really expands in the mouth. Coats the whole palate without assaulting it. Med. long finish. Good acidity. This wine is in an excellent spot to drink right now. It still has some substantial fine tannins, but they in no way interfere with the wine. Delicious! No reason to wait, but also no reason to drink up. Was a great match with New York steak. 93 points
