This impressive vintage port, from a firm that has not been numbered among the great port houses of the last century, may turn out to be the most impressive wine from Croft in decades. The healthy purple/black color is followed by copious aromas of licorice, chocolate, and over-ripe black fruits. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with layers of juicy, succulent, full-throttle fruit, glycerin, high alcohol, and powerful tannin, this large-scaled, youthful vintage port will benefit from 7-10 years of cellaring. It should drink well for 30+ years.
Incredible aromas of crushed blackberry and raspberry. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a very velvety and round texture. Goes on and on. Gorgeous Vintage Port. '91/'92 Port retrospective. Drink now through 2015. 9,000 cases made.
Deep, vibrant crimson with a little evolution at the rim. Vigorous, hot nose with even some raisins plus a slight savoury note on the back palate. Very sweet palate attack with some dry tannins, and lots of alcohol, on the finish. A little hole in the middle mars it but this is good.
