1997 Croft Quinta da Roeda single quinta vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red, strongly extracted. Strong scent of blackcurrants and blackberries. Empty entry but flavours develop in the midpalate. Very acidic but complexity of red fruits and citrus flavours is enjoyable. Tannins dominate the initial aftertaste decay into a long and chocolately aftertaste. 85/100. Drunk 30/11/06 after 1 hour in the decanter.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
