Croft Quinta da Roêda Vintage Port 2019

Deep reddish black at the core with a broad ruby ​​rim. On the nose the fruit is ripe and juicy, with aromas of cherry and strawberry combining with notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, but with plenty of freshness to balance the opulence of the fruit. The exotic, resinous and herbaceous character typical of Roêda, with notes of eucalyptus and mint, is clearly in evidence and there is also an attractive perfumed dimension with notes of dried rose petals and cedar wood. However, the spotlight remains on the soft, opulent fruit that emerges again on the palate and continues through to the long finish. Although the palate is round and light and the tannins velvety and discreet, the fresh acidity gives the wine firmness and vigor. A Vintage in the Roêda tradition, captivating, seductive and easy to drink, but with plenty of depth and structure.
