Tripping. This is real wine. Red cranberry and red plum with eucalyptus and bay leaf on the nose. Fresh attack and pure crunchy red and black fruit on the palate. Delicious fine grain tannins and a real and not fake finish. Pure wine man. #douro #portuguesewine #portugal #crasto somewhat reminiscent of Tuscany but not so tannic. — 3 years ago

Even better than I remembered, classy and very Bordeaux like in style. Rich without being weighty, very good acidity, well integrated backbone of tannin. #douro #crasto #broadbent — 9 years ago

A delicious LBV Port to drink while the vintage stuff ages. The key to a good LBV is that it must have resolved tannin and an early approchability that the VPs lack when opened too young. Fruity, with black plum, cherry, and blackberry with licorice spice this one is tasting great now. It won't get better so if you have any drink up. Most LBV are not built for aging, but to consume in the near term when the fruit is fresh and the spirit heat is integrated best with the wine. #crasto #douro #port — 8 years ago
