The 2015 Vintage Port from Quinta do Crasto is absolutely colossus right now. Displaying a dark inky color, this begins to open with intensely perfumed aromatics of blackberry cobbler which is accompanied by lavender purée, chocolate fudge and anise. On the palate this is already beautifully evolved and shows a marvelous range of flavors, including ripe red, dark and blue fruits laced with cranberries and orange zest. It continues to impress with its fantastic combination of viscosity, tension and fresh character leading up to the long, mouthcoating finish. Overall, this is simply delicious and just about impossible to ressit now, however it should also evolve remarkably well and continue to drink beautifully for many years to come.
