1997 Croft Quinta da Roeda Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:13 pm
Decant: Not Known - Deep red and opaque. Full on the nose, bringing fresh blackcurrants. Hollow entry, closed and unbalanced but showing late on the palate some attractive development with plenty of tannin and lots of spice and acidity. Harsh aftertaste, dry and acidic finish. Has considerable upside (to 89?) once it comes back into balance. Guessed to be Vargellas 1998. 83 points
