1995 Croft Quinta do Roeda vintage port
Posted: 19:14 Sun 19 Sep 2010
Decanted off a large amount of fine sediment sludge. Wonderful smell of blackcurrants during decanting.
Deep red colour, opaque. Nosing beautifully of dry blackcurrants. Mouthfilling impact, huge waves of blackcurrants and blueberries; massive acidic structure, supporting the spicy tannins. Big aftertaste of hot blackcurrant, followed by a long finish of dark chocolate and bitter blackcurrant. Simply delicious port, and with lots more potential yet. 90/100. Drunk 19 September 2010 after 48 hours of decanting.
