2/2 On opening, there were hints of problems to come, but surprise (I was!)--it improved a lot with air, with fresher fruit & balance, tho' still needs food Current vintages,$50-ish, but often competes with bigger Crasto trophies for a third of the price. 14.5%. Drink now. #wine #douro #portugal

2/2

It shows fresher fruit and balance, although it still needs food. At least today, this is a good showing with distinction. It won't die soon, but it's a great time to dive in.

Current vintages, $50-ish, but it often competes with the bigger Crasto trophies for a third of the price. 14.5%

1/2 The 2011 LBV Port Unfiltered from Ramos Pinto is a blend (mostly the Tourigas, from two quintas) that seems young. Great fruit starts off and leads to a sweet conclusion (99 g/l of sugar if you care). The biggest effect of age is that it's softer now. To 2 #wine #douro #port #lbv
