Tasting notes: Intense purple ruby core with vivid purple rim. The nose displays the ripe strawberry
and blackcurrant fruitiness and resiny notes of rockrose and eucalyptus that are the
essence of the Croft Vintage Port style. The palate opens with a surge of rich berry
fruit flavour and is supported by a dense mesh of close-knit tannins. Although the
wine displays some of the plump, rubenesque character of prior Croft Vintages,
the accent here is on symmetry and finesse. The characteristically exuberant fruit
and heady herbal aromas are carefully modulated and the wine is classical in its
proportions. An elegant and aromatic Vintage Port, perfectly poised between
opulence and restraint.
