For The Love Of Port

From one of the top resources of wine in the USA: VINFOLIO

1995 Quint do Crasto Vintage Port, Portugal - Douro

$49.95 1.5L (Magnum pricing!)

18,000 bottles produced. Medium ruby with no visible signs of age on the rim. Mocha and cherry notes and a medium body frame, with dark fruit and a modest mid-palate, somewhat simple, yet this is still quite tasty. The highlight is the length of the finish with underpinnings of chocolate. Easy to drink now or you can cellar this for up to another decade as well.

... just in case anyone says that I don't occasionally put some steals and deals right here in the Port & Madeira Marketplace.

There WERE only 18 Mags left when I received the email a short while ago. They won't last long, however they are only open M-F.

I picked up a couple, and they still have a few left. Neil didn't say exactly how many but I got the impression it was more than just a handful.

11 left as of this moment.

I picked up one and a friend picked up one. Was down to 7 when I saw yesterday.
