Description

An opaque core with limpid ruby rim. The nose is very dense, much more introverted than the nineties Crofts and the alcohol more integrated into bouquet. The palate is full-bodied, very firm in structure with a little more austerity than usual. Very good delineation although it does not quite have the exuberance or the flamboyance of the vivacious ’94. Conservative and foursquare towards the finish with an attractive hint of blood orange on the aftertaste. Good length.

Croft

Croft is one of the most distinguished of all Port houses. Founded in 1588, it is the oldest firm still active today as a Port wine producer. The company is renowned above all for its Vintage Ports as well as for its range of wood aged reserves and tawnies, time-honoured styles refined by skill and experience passed down through the generations.

Porto

Porto, located in northern Portugal along the Douro River, is renowned for its exceptional fortified wines, particularly Port wine. It benefits from a unique combination of a warm, dry climate and the steep, terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, which contribute to the distinctive character of its wines.
Port wine is the area's most famous export, known for its rich, complex flavours and varied styles, including Ruby, Tawny, Vintage, and LBV (Late Bottled Vintage). These wines are fortified with brandy, which stops fermentation and preserves natural sugars, resulting in a range of profiles from sweet and fruity to dry and nutty. The traditional winemaking methods and the unique terroir of Porto, along with the influence of the nearby Douro Valley, produce wines with deep, robust characteristics and exceptional ageing potential.
Historically, Porto has been a key port for the export of Portuguese wines since the 17th century, making it an integral part of the country's winemaking heritage. Today, it continues to offer a diverse and high-quality wine experience, reflecting both its rich history and its innovative approaches to winemaking.
