Explosive and indulgent. Dried fruits and nots. Syrupy without being cloying. Not too sweet either, though the finish hints at the sweeter side and is nice and long.

The House of Croft, founded in 1678, was one of the earliest shippers of Port wines since the seventeenth century. Medium Amber with aromas of dried fruits and nutty earthy notes. On the palate flavors of juicy ripe red fruit, honey and raisins with nutty spice. Lingering sweet finish ending with toasty spices. Tasting Sample. Great value.

Deep tawny brown and semi-clear. Rich nose with layers of toffee, almond paste, woody and stewed plums. Solid acidity cutting through the sweetness. Layered flavors on the palate of tropical fruits, cedar, cherries, spices and nutty. Acidity hits through at the backend of the palate and has some nice depth. Long finish. Drinking will right now.

Heavy caramel and nutty flavors with a hint of dried fruit. A very long and delicious finish.

Molasses, burnt caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee nuts, orange peel, dried apricots, marmalade, buttered toast, burnt brandied caramel and dried stone fruits. It's big, rich, high alcohol, thick, sweet and elegant. Good but certainly not their Scion but then again nothing else is. @Jory

A pungent nose, more sherry like with saline notes that add to the caramel, flowers and orange zest, some notes of maple , full bodied, huge finish.
