2007 Croft

Fragrant and vibrant on the nose with pure berry fruit aromas, this is an expressive wine that displays a subtle fruit core and is balanced by real freshness and very smooth tannins. The style here is about purity, though it’s not lacking in density to back it up. Easy going and very pleasant.

From the 1991 vintage through 2003, the well-known producer Croft has received outstanding ratings in this journal. In that context the 2007 Croft Vintage Port is a mild disappointment. It is a straightforward effort with an attractive nose of damp earth, mineral, blackberry, and plum with herbal notes in the background. On the palate it comes off as a bit narrow, lacking in volume compared to the top wines of the vintage. It is firmly structured and is likely to evolve for up to a decade but is not a candidate for extended cellaring.
