 What’s the fuss over Vintage Port all about?  Simple – in a great harvest, Port winemakers are able to use the wines from their finest sites to make fortified reds that can improve in bottle for decades. And, with modern, sophisticated, winemaking, be enjoyed tonight as well!  Croft’s take on Vintage Port is always luscious and exuberant and this easily merits its high ratings.

James Suckling: 97 Points

"Blueberry, blackberry and dried violets on then nose that follow through to a full body, firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. This shows grip and some green, wet earth undertones on the finish. Stuctured. Try in 2026."

Vinous: 94 Points

"The 2017 Croft Vintage Port was picked from August 31, the earliest since 1945. Deep purple in color, the nose is initially standoffish, checking you out before opening intense black plum and crushed violet aromas, orange blossom and veins of Seville orange marmalade. Yet it is extremely well focused, disguising the warmth of the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with a luxuriant, velvety smooth opening that lacquers the mouth. Beautifully balanced, effortless even, it gently seems to roll across the senses towards its surprisingly controlled, clove and bayleaf tinged finish that leaves a discrete tingling sensation on the tongue. Superb and probably one of the 2017 Vintage Ports that will drink sooner than others."
