Croft 2007 Vintage Port

Croft 2007 Vintage Port

Producer Tasting Note:

Deep purple black with narrow magenta rim. The heady and powerfully aromatic nose displays a characteristic abundance of rich plump fruit and the exotic notes of eucalyptus and rock rose which are the hallmark of the Quinta da Roêda wines on which the blend is based. Juicy and luscious on the palate, with discreet and well fused tannins and a long generous finish.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Blueberry, cranberry, clove, violets - very opulent. Rich, thick mouth feel with lovely balance of acidity, very approachable, surprisingly soft whilst remaining very concentrated."

18/20 points, Richard Hemming MW, Jancisrobinson.com, August 2009

"Very mineral, very ripe and exuberant black fruit in a fragrant and full of freshness package. Full of fruit and concentration, with beautiful overall harmony. Structured and with some dryness in a mouth with strength and character. Ends long."

17.5/20 points, Revista de Vinhos, December 2009

Occurring on average only about three times a decade, the release (or ‘declaration’) of a new classic Vintage Port is one of the most significant occasions in the wine calendar.

The superb 2007 vintage port confirms Croft’s position in the top rank of Vintage Porthouses. Displays the luscious fruitiness and exotic aromas which are the hallmarks of Croft’s Quinta da Roêda estate. Only a small amount made.
