Old vines still do it better. This is there to prove it. A world top class wine made out of 70 years old vineyards...And there I have you saying: that old... it must be awful. No it isn't, believe me, it is awesome. Superbly fruited and fresh as one should think it should be!
Quinta do Crasto, Reserva, Vinhas Velhas, Old Vines, Vieilles Vignes, Red, Douro, Portugal, 2010, takes all the flavour of the oldest lawfully demarcated wine region in the world, the Douro Valley's, Port wine region, making it splash as consistently fresh as one can desire, after a 16 months ageing in oak barrels rounds it to softer curves. Powerful and classy. Luxury wine for a bargain.
Merry Christmas!
