Croft Quinta Da Roeda Vintage Port 2018

This exceptional Vintage Port from Quinta da Roeda shows intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum, violet, and dark chocolate with hints of spice and licorice. Full-bodied and deeply structured, the palate delivers concentrated dark fruit, powerful yet refined tannins, and vibrant acidity, finishing exceptionally long, rich, and age-worthy.

Food Pairing: Blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, walnut tart, berry-based desserts, roasted nuts, and rich chocolate pastries.

94 Points -Wine Enthusiast

Croft's showpiece estate at Pinhão always forms the base of the producer's Vintage Ports. Here it shines on its own in a wonderful perfumed, richly textured wine. In a dry style, the wine goes for richness and nutty, dried raisin flavors. With its structure, it will certainly age. Drink from 2028. Roger Voss

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Sleek in feel, with a mix of raspberry and plum reduction, melted black licorice and fruitcake notes that stretch out over a graphite edge on the finish. Has good energy from start to finish. Best from 2030 through 2045. 2,000 cases made.

92 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of chocolate, cherries, cassis, smoky herbs, rubber and moist earth. Full and sweet with polished, chalky tannins and a crunchy, berry-soaked palate with a chocolaty finish. Better from 2024.
