Taylor's 2012 Review:
: "My pick of the bunch. Just glorious in its aromatic and fruit purity with violet-scented cassis and a long, very precise ever so Taylor’s finish well supported by firm but powdery tannins. Excitingly vibrant and fresh with lingering fruit and floral intensity." Sarah Ahmed, Wine Detective (online)
Fonseca 2012 Review:
"A deeper hue with more opacity from this Port, the product of blending different estates (the other two are single quinta/estate vintage Ports). It’s more robust too with a charge of powdery, textured tannins behind its ripe plum and dried fig fruit with just a hint of tobacco. The most “traditional” in feel and, following Guimaraens’ masterclass, I’m certainly more conscious of the savoury dimension which Tinta Amarela seems to bring to the blend. Very good." Sarah Ahmed, Wine Detective (Online)
Croft 2012 Review:
The 2012 Croft has a dense ruby black core surrounded by a purple red rim. The nose is true to the Roeda style, a luscious fruitiness combined with the resiny,musky redolence of wild herbs and gum cistus. However, the year with its typical purity and finesse has placed this finely constituted wine at the elegant and subtle end of the Roeda spectrum. Blended with the typically jammy fruit are fresher notes of raspberry and apricot and the pallate is lifted by a crisp acidity and supported by a dense warp of firm sinewy tannins. Slightly more restrained and clearly delineated than some Roeda vintages, the wine nevertheless displays the seductive ripe fruitiness which is the hallmark of this great historic estate. Reviews "Deep purple and classic Croft in its purple palate prose, with an almost raw concentration of sappy, powdered cassis and black cherry and elegant lift of violets to the finish. It has just a hint of balancing green coffee bean and bitter chocolate to balance its sweetness. Youthfully, fruitily effusive. Very good." Sarah Ahmed, Wine Detective (online)
