1. Flor de Crasto 2004
A new bottling by Quinta do Crasto. This wine sells at € 6,95 over here, and is clearly meant as a basic wine. Bright purple colour, warm nose with berries, cherries, herbs and some freshness from eucalyptus. The first mouthfeel is actually quite tannic and acidic. Dark cherries and some spices. Medium bodied. Needs air and food to round up a bit, and when that happens it's a very pleasant drinker. Good wine for the money, 85 points.
