93 points, “The 2004s seem to have developed quite quickly and are drinking well now with 14 years in bottle: mid-deep in colour, just starting to show maturity on the rim; a bit sullen initially but opening up in the glass to reveal lovely mint and gum cistus aromas, fresh, well defined plump berry fruit backed by linear tannins, not big overall but expressive with attractive purity of fruit lingering on the finish.” – Decanter
Fans of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec will love this single vineyard Vintage Port, as it’s bursting with cassis, dark chocolate, brambles, prune and refreshing minty notes. Now all you’ll need is the cheeseboard to go with it.
Single Quinta Ports like this are created from a house’s best sites in the years when a vintage isn’t declared. This makes them great value for money compared to classic Vintage Ports, and we love them because they’re drinkable much younger – who has time to wait?
Founded in 1588, Croft is one of Port’s household names. Their reputation is built on the majestic Quinta da Roêda – a jewel in the crown, not just for Croft but for all of Port. And you’ll see why when you taste this phenomenal, plump wine. The vineyard interlocks with Dow’s Bomfim, and was originally owned by the Fladgates of Taylor, Fladgate and Yeatman fame. It was bought by Croft in 1889, but kind of came back under the original ownership when Croft joined the Fladgate Partnership in 2001. With the back of the Taylor’s empire, the quality has skyrocketed.
