Quinta Do Crasto Port Vintage 2016

Wine Advocate 91 points - 91-93 - The 2016 Vintage Port is a field blend with 96 grams of sugar. This is the final blend and out of the cask, set to be bottled in a week or so. Sweet upfront, although the paper statistics don’t suggest that, this has plenty of tannic pop on the finish. Manuel Lobo, comparing to 2015, said that the fruit was better in 2015, while this 2016 had more muscle. Despite the power, this should be approachable fairly young, in the context of Vintage Port. At this point, I’d prefer 2015, but we’ll how they both age in time. With Port, that’s always the final answer. This might have more room to grow. There were 22,000 bottles produced..July/2018
