DELIVERY EARLY 2019

***97 Points-James Suckling***
Extremely perfumed with dark-berry and currant aromas. Hints of earth and spices. Full-bodied, round and medium sweet. Hints of resin. Opulent yet restrained. Shows ripe and beautiful fruit with clarity. Try in 2025.

***94 Points- Neal Martin, vinous.com***
The 2016 Croft Vintage Port has a taut bouquet at first that demands a good 20 or 30 minutes to get into its stride. It eventually reveals scents of blackberry, bilberry, chimney soot, clove, and just a hint of scorched earth in the background. The palate is spicy and vivacious on the entry: black fruit, clove, white pepper and curry powder (almost like a Balti!) I love the personality imbued into this Croft, a Vintage Port that seems to be wearing its heart on its sleeve. Excellent. Production is 3,050 cases. Drink 2026 - 2055.

***91 Points-Derek Smedley MW***
Red fruits dominate at the start fragrance jasmine and eucalyptus with fresh raspberries and loganberries. Sweet in the middle in the middle voluptuous, fleshy and plump rich black plum with under the opulence the fleshiness there is balancing freshness a tannic streak the finish is lighter and aromatic. 2031-52

***17/20 Points-Richard Mayson***
Based on Quinta da Roeda at Pinhão: open, rich plummy aromas with minty ripeness evident, a touch of hedgerow too; very much in the recent Croft mold, which they describe as ‘rubenesque’, i.e. soft, plump and fleshy with voluptuous fruit backed by ripe tannins that blossom on the finish. 17/20. 3050 cases produced
