Croft Vintage 2016

TASTING NOTES - The nose opens with a dazzling peacock’s tail of scents and aromas. Ripe fruit, a kaleidoscopic complexity, crisp red berry aromas blending with ripe, succulent black fruits and a fresh grapiness. The eucalyptus and rock rose scents merge with hints of crushed mint, fresh citrus notes and a pot-pourri of savoury herbs and dried rose petal. Palate is thick, dense and silky, packed with opulent fruit and supported by a mesh of tightly-woven tannins. PRODUCER - Croft is one of the most distinguished of all Port houses.
