Croft Reserve Tawny Porto unveils a mesmerizing russet color, a visual testament to its distinct character shaped by meticulous craftsmanship. The aromatic journey begins with a fragrant dance of candied orange peel and sun-kissed apricots, weaving seamlessly with delicate notes of vanilla and a whisper of warm spice. A subtle hint of toasted hazelnuts adds an intriguing layer to the bouquet, inviting the senses into a realm of refined complexity.
On the palate, this Tawny Porto from Croft Reserve unfolds a delightful symphony of flavors. Velvety caramel and toffee take center stage, gracefully accompanied by a medley of dried fruits, including figs and dates. The texture is luscious, offering a harmonious balance between sweetness and a touch of oak.
Critic Ratings
Tasting Panel Review - Rated 92:
A venerable Port house (est. 1588) with a modern bent. Dark, rust amber; smooth, soft and nutty with bright, sweet fruit and mild rancio; silky, balanced and long.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 90:
An extroverted style, with a burst of cherry and blackberry cobbler notes that give way to singed cinnamon and black tea on the finish. Drink now. 500 cases imported.
