Croft Vintage Porto

Description

This Croft Vintage, with a Parker seal of approval that doesn’t trumpet it, is an experience demanding a touch of reverence. The colour immediately hints at the 2017 harvest, releasing notes of rich blackberries and black cherry, but the real surprise lies in the nose – eucalyptus, sage and mint, all delightfully ensnaring. On the palate, firm tannins embrace the mouth with a velvety texture, revealing a dense, concentrated wine with the power to challenge any bottle. A wine, as they say, "built to last," ideally paired with a hearty beef roast to fully appreciate its intensity.
