Quinta Do Crasto, Douro Red 2011

£11.50 reduced to... £10.12

During this busy Christmas period, I'm cheating again, borrowing a recommendation. Having re-visited Portuguese red's, I thoroughly agree with Oz Clark that this is one of the stand out wines in the range.

"Quinta do Crasto has mastered the art of making red Douro table wine a thing of beauty, while its neighbours continue to overcomplicate and over-oak the stuff. This is an utter delight: scented with jasmine, bulging with ripe black plums, mulberry and blueberry fruit with the merest tug of chewy tannin, and as you swallow, back comes the jasmine."
