CrS17: this needs more time to tell. Good Port, but with a strange note, not quite artichoke, that might meld very well, but hasn’t yet.

D2: Another slightly spirity edge to the nose, with red and black fruits with the vintage’s citrus edge. Palate more expansive with good mid-weight fruit and balance. Some warmth evident on clean finish which its good acid cut. Good solid port here. (Croft da Roeda Serikos)

Deep and complex, very drinkable, dark fruit on the nose. Plenty of fruit and tannins in the palate, long finish with the fruit really shining through. V good.
