Quinta do Crasto Tinto Superior Douro DOC 2018

''An old world style bouquet driven by scents of rocks and mineral then dark red berry fruits, violets and dark flowers then toasty barrel suggestions. Lovely weight, power and texture on the palate with a core of ripe dark red berry flavours, tannins and acid line create a strong structure and mouthfeel. No mistaking there’s oak here, but the fruit soaks this up easily. A delicious wine with lovely palate appeal and length. Great drinking.'' 93 Points, Cam Douglas MW

''One of the best, if not the best vintage of this wine to date. It shows spicy, herbal and violet notes involving its fruits, reminiscent of plums and blackberries, with its refreshing acidity and fine, tense tannins and bringing balance and fluidity to the whole. It has a juicy and persistent finish, with touches of cassis and licorice.'' 93 Points, Adega Magazine

''Highlighted by a powerful bouquet with rose petal and copious dark fruits that fill the nose. The palate is remarkably plush, showing dark currants and black forest cake flavors. This is highly complex and downright delicious as the wonderful tension cuts through this rich viscosity.'' 92 Points, Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report (Previous Vintage Review)

''Sensationally delicious, the tannins are ripe, and the texture is caressing. It's pretty fine. Once you taste it, it will be hard to keep your hands off of it.'' Mark Squires, Wine Advocate Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)
