2005 Croft Quinta da Roeda Vintage Port

[Eric Menchen]

2005 Croft Quinta de Roeda: Decanted 7 hours. I threw this into the mix for fun, and because I really wanted to see if I should be buying more of this while it still can be readily found. This is a fruity, jammy big Port. There is plenty of tannin, but it is still drinkable. Color was the darkest and deepest, as to be expected. This went pretty well with the main course, and really shined with the Oregonzola cheese. This was the only bottle to last the evening, with one glass for the next day. The next day it really hadn't changed much that I could tell. I could drink more of this now, but I'm going to try to resist for at least two years. I think in five this might be really nice. Should I buy more? I didn't come up with an answer for that. It can be found in the US for under $35, so I am still tempted.
