Quinta Do Crasto Touriga Nacional 2018
Descripción
La Touriga nacional con la que se elabora este tinto procede del viñedo más exclusivo de la casa. Y es esa excelencia la que logra materializarse en su mejor añada hasta la fecha para brindarnos un douro sabroso, aromático y con una larga vida por delante, si tenemos en cuenta la puntuación otorgada por Mark Squires, crítico de The Wine Advocate para Portugal.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2018 Touriga Nacional was aged for 16 to 18 months, depending on which of two plots, in 90% new oak. It comes in at just 14.6% alcohol. More flavorful and aromatic than its sibling, the Touriga Franca, this is otherwise along the same lines. This Touriga Nacional maintains the Franca's mid-palate finesse, as well as the feeling it projects that it is the crushed essence of the grape. There's a little oak present, but not as much as you might think. This, too, will absorb the oak even better with a couple of years in the cellar, but the wood is very well handled. It is not really intrusive even now, and there is no "drenched in vanilla" demeanor at all. The tannins are very ripe, but with aeration this becomes much firmer on the finish, proving that it has the structure to age.

The violet perfumes of this wine are its glory. They bring out rich black fruits, tannins that promise aging and layers of minerality. The wine is elegant and well structured. Drink from 2024.
