2015 vintage. A joint venture between the Roquette (Quinta do Crasto) and Cazes (Lynch Bages) families. Only produced from the best barrels in exceptional years. Old vines of Touriga Nacional, Tina Roriz and Touriga Franca from the Douro Superior and Cima Corgo sub-regions. Black fruit and violets. Seriously powerful, but it maintains elegance, thanks to the acidity balancing the layers of fruit and ripe tannins. Long lingering finish. Impressive. Abv. 14,5 % .

Holding up well. Wish I could find more. Touriga Nacional is shining through nicely in the blend (w/ Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca as secondary).

This was delicious. Think plum or cherry compote with cloves and other herbal notes. Leather from the age. Big wine.
