Quinta do Crasto Finest Reserve Port

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, May 2020

“Juicy and forthright, with plum cake and blueberry paste flavors, laced with a streak of cocoa. A flash of bramble gives the finish a punchy counterpoint. Drink now. 350 cases imported.”

2018 Crasto Superior White

Mark Squires, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, August 2019

“The 2018 Branco Superior, set for bottling in a few weeks from this tasting but the final blend, is a 60/40 blend of Viosinho and Verdelho aged for six months in 50% used French oak (although 15% had acacia heads). It comes in at 12.5% alcohol. That's a drop from last year. This shows its oak a bit too much just now, but that will change as this pulls itself together. More importantly, it adds a layer of depth to the regular Branco and more grip on the finish while retaining the regular Branco's freshness and balance. It has enough of everything to seem rather serious too. This is impressive, and it's able to age well. It may be the best yet in the brand.”

2016 Crasto Superior Red

Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator, November 2020

“Sandalwood and baking spice notes surround the bright raspberry tart and red plum reduction flavors of this full-bodied red. Vibrant acidity adds nice elegance, with details of Kalamata olive, black tea and anise soaring into the finish. Drink now through 2027. 500 cases imported.”

2016 Crasto Superior Red

Mark Squires, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, August 2019

“The 2016 Tinto Crasto Superior is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinta Roriz, 25% Touriga Franca and just 5% Sousão, aged for 12 months in 35% new French oak. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol, a bit less than the 2015. When first seen, this was still unbottled and a little disjointed. It is now much improved. Fresh and sophisticated, this has come together well, showing some depth, better structure and very appealing mid-palate finesse. This should continue aging beautifully. This tightly wound Tinto has all the components to improve over the next few years and then hold well.”
