Description
Full and robust, this is a classic Croft style with sweet berry aromas. After many years slowly maturing in the cellar, it is now ready and drinking extremely well. Bottled in an impressive 1.5L magnum its size makes it ideal for sharing and perfect for marking 1985 anniversary celebrations, milestone birthdays, weddings, or as a prestigious gift for wine collectors. The magnum format not only enhances ageing but also elevates any occasion with its grand presentation.
Tasting Notes:
This vintage displays rich aromas of dried fruits, figs, and spice, with a velvety palate showcasing layers of dark cherry, chocolate, and tobacco, all wrapped in a long, elegant finish. Now at peak maturity, the 1985 vintage is widely praised for its balance and depth, offering a sublime drinking experience straight from the cellar.
Serving and Food Pairing:
For the best experience, decant this vintage Port and serve slightly below modern room temperature (16° to 18°C). It pairs beautifully with chocolate-rich dessert and it is also an excellent companion to blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, where its sweetness complements the creamy, tangy profile of the cheese.
