The 2013 Tinta Roriz (Crasto's only monovarietal in this vintage—there will be no Touriga Nacional) is an impressive achievement in the vintage. Pure, transparent and gorgeously structured, this 2013 is a big success in a sometimes difficult vintage. It doesn't seem even a little bit jammy. Some may see the mid-palate as a negative. It doesn't seem fleshy or rich, either. I liked the presentation a lot. Its focus and precision are impressive, and the fruit seems fresh and lifted. This needs to absorb a bit of oak and develop some complexity. It has tightened up since I last saw it and shut down a bit. I won't say you can't drink it now, but coming back around 2022 might be a better idea. It may be back in better form then and showing some complexity as well.Mark Squires28th February 2019
