The Finest Ports To Celebrate With This Christmas
Croft Quinta da Roeda 2004 and Taylor’s Historic were both included in a Tempus article online about the finest ports for Christmas.
Taylor’s Historic Limited Edition Reserve Tawny: “The colour is a deep reddish-brown at the centre with a narrow brick coloured rim, while the mature, opulent nose opens with a warm redolence of coffee, butterscotch and dried fruit, with notes of plum and raisin. On the tongue, meanwhile, the drink is thick and robust with a smooth silky texture, which merge seamlessly with toffee and preserved fruit flavours on the finish.”
Croft Quinta da Roêda 2004: “This vintage port is defined by its deep ruby colour with a purple edge. On the nose is a an array of powerful, concentrated fruit aromas, punctuated by cassis, while on the palate, this strong-bodied wine is fresh, rich, firm and full of fruit including, dark berries and chocolate.”
