Description
Ray Hersh (For The Love of Port): “Often referred to as the ‘Poor man’s Vintage Port’ because they emulate the qualities of a Vintage Port but are a fraction of the price. Crusted Ports are blends of at least two or more vintage years that age in wood for up to four years, bottled, and then ideally aged at least another three years in bottle before release. Crusted Ports are left unfiltered and are intended to be aged in bottle for midterm cellaring (10-20 years). Crusted Ports are not often seen today outside of the UK, as LBVs have all but replaced them, especially in the US marketplace. They offer good quality at typically very good prices, and will need to be decanted just like a Vintage Port to remove the sediment (or ‘crust’). (1/13/14)”
