The Fladgate Partnership
Croft 2009
A lovely nose, deep and mineral. Lightly perfumed with plenty of restrained sweet black fruit. Quite vibrant and fresh it a little straightforward, but in saying that it has a very good depth. Off-sweet, low acidity, low to med, soft, supple tannins. Like the Skeffington it is almost approachable with a lovely depth of dense blackcherry fruit with hints of herbs, minerals and spice. Quite linear at present but there is a lovely burst of perfume on the finish, which is partially masked by its fine tannins.
It has to be the best bottling of Croft I've tasted. The lower yields have produced a more concentrated wine than in previous vintages. I think this will be a great port for drinking in 2-5 years.
