A disconcerting note of wet wool on the nose is distracting, but in the mouth the wine has lovely cassis, blackberry and plum fruit. Atyptical for this property which usually has more balance and fruit intensity.

Capa y densidad alta, en nariz poca potencia, fruta negra madura, notas balsámicas y cacao. En boca buena entrada, goloso y con un final quizás demasiado ligero.

Rich and opulent. It has an attractive sweetness. Firm tannins and acidity. Dark purple inky hue. Nice wine for its style.

Beginning to become a real Portugal wine fan and if you are looking to try something a bit pricier than the inexpensive, everyday wines, this is a good step to take.

Nice wine. Not the best from Crasto but good. Slight port notes in the finish but a bit tannic and sharp around the edges.

Blend. Lots of fruit with nice minerality and freshness. Really nice but a bit hot on finish.
