Quinta Do Crasto, LBV Port, 2005, Portugal
Buy is my recommendation on this Quinta Do Crasto, LBV Port, 2005 from Portugal.
Yes its 15 years old and should have been open much earlier but it still had a fresh flavour drive smell and taste, lots black fruit, tobacco, oak, raisins, very smooth and pretty rich but with structure and longitivity.
At £20 its not expensive and it does deliver all round.
I love Port and this offering from C da Silva with their Presidential, LBV Port, 2013 is better than most, excellent in fact. Made with 33% Touriga Franca, 33% Touriga Nacional, 34% Roriz there are aromas of wood and spice with flavours of plums and sour cherry, a richness with long lasting tastes make it better than most LBV Ports. At £15 a bottle it’s worth paying extra.
