Croft Vintage Port 2016
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalWe love the important work The Fladgate Group has done at Croft, completely restoring its reputation and glory and putting it back in the high-level stakes game of Vintage Port. This soon-to-be eight-year-old Vintage Port port is ready to go, fragrant, open, generous, and showy, especially for those who prefer a port full of youth and fruit. The attack mixes sweet cassis and blackcurrants with a savoury, firm undercurrent and relatively high acid for Croft. The onerous, ongoing vineyard restorations are paying dividends. The finish is prolonged and flecked with brown spices. All that said, there is no need to open this wine until 2026 and beyond that over two decades. A perfect wine to treasure in the cellar and open to mark birth dates, anniversaries, etc., associated with 2016. You won’t be sorry.Tasted: 16 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $105.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
