VASCO CROFT

Aphros Daphne Loureiro 2015

At Aeble, a new restaurant that didn't come up on Delectable. Stoned fruit--that's me--loves the stone fruit flavors, a hybrid peach and apricot. Didn't expect this Portuguese indigenous grape Loureiro to be so complex and bright. — 9 years ago

Croft won't make an LBV 11, it all goes into the vintage port. They take a different approach to LBV than other Port producers. The top LBV are unfiltered and will age effortlessly from Noval and Niepoort for example. The LBV from Taylor's, Graham's and Dow's are filtered and are better now and not suitable for aging, though I am sure the 11s will have some legs.

Buy them now, they are in most stores and I am seeing the Niepoort start to disappear. They have moved onto 2012 already!

@Tom Kobylarz Thanks for the info! I have a nice stack of 11's I hope I will be alive for! They should be drinking in about 30..

The Ravens Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Fantastic cab! Full bodied, brimming with blackberry and intense black currants. It's fruit driven right now but very balanced I have no doubt complexity will emerge as it ages. I've had the 11, 12, & 13 Ravens and loved every one of them. — 10 years ago
