Croft Quinta da Roêda Sérikos Vintage Port 2017

Inky black centre with a thin ring of deep purple. The nose opens with a dazzling peacock’s tail of scents and aromas. The rich, ripe fruit that is a consistent feature of Quinta da Roêda wines has developed a kaleidoscopic complexity, with crisp aromas of red fruits mingling with ripe, juicy black fruits and a freshness of grape. Roêda’s signature eucalyptus and rockrose aromas blend with hints of crushed mint, fresh citrus notes and a potpourri of savory herbs and dried rose petals. The wine opens up a treasure trove of surprising nuances as it develops in the glass. On the palate the wine is thick, dense and silky, full of opulent fruit and supported by a mesh of tightly woven tannins.
