Croft Distinction Port (75cl, 20%)

A Finest Reserve Port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Croft, with roots tracing back to 1588, builds this expression from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão, aged in wood for four to five years before blending and bottling. The nose opens with ripe blackberry and black plum, then raisin, subtle cedar and warm spice. The palate is fleshy and full, with jammy blackberry and blueberry, then baker's chocolate and strawberry sweetness alongside medium, well-integrated tannins. The finish carries black licorice, dark chocolate and lingering berry fruit, with gentle spice and cedar.
