Croft Late Bottled Vintage Port 75 cl Portugal DouroVanuit de behoefte voor een hoge kwaliteit vintage port die al eerder op dronk is, werd de zogeheten Late Bottled Vintage geboren. Deze LBV is net als vintage port afkomstig van n enkel oogstjaar. Het verschil zit hem in de rijping. Waar vintage port 24 maanden houtrijping kent en verder moet rijpen op fles, ondergaat de LBV 4 tot 6 jaar houtrijping voordat hij gebotteld wordt. Hierdoor is de wijn, in tegenstelling tot vintage, direct op dronk.


Vanuit de behoefte voor een hoge kwaliteit vintage port die al eerder op dronk is, werd de zogeheten Late Bottled Vintage geboren. Deze LBV is net als vintage port afkomstig van één enkel oogstjaar. Het verschil zit hem in de rijping. Waar vintage port 24 maanden houtrijping kent en verder moet rijpen op fles, ondergaat de LBV 4 tot 6 jaar houtrijping voordat hij gebotteld wordt. Hierdoor is de wijn, in tegenstelling tot vintage, direct op dronk. Bovendien hoeft een LBV vanwege het proces ook niet gedecanteerd te worden. Voor de productie van hun LBV gebruikt Croft de gebruikelijke druiven touriga francesa, tinta roriz en touriga nacional. Deze zijn afkomstig van enkele van hun beste percelen, waaronder de beroemde Quinta da Roêda.

Het porthuis kiest vervolgens voor een 6 jaar durende houtrijping. De uiteindelijke wijn heeft een prachtige diep paarse, purperen kleur. De rijke geconcentreerde wijn levert donkere tonen van zwarte bes en balsamico. Daarnaast zwoele, zoetige aroma's van zoethout en mokka. De afdronk is warm en vol met mooie zachte en goed geïntegreerde tannines. Een heerlijk glas bij Roquefort of Stilton-kaas. Maar ook verrukkelijk bij desserts met chocolade en rood of zwart fruit. Hoewel gelijk drinkbaar is hij moeiteloos nog jaren te bewaren zonder kwaliteitsverlies. Beste schenktemperatuur: 16 tot 18°C. 

KLIMAAT & TERROIR: Een klimaat met warme zomers en koude winters. Het terroir kent elementen van verweerd graniet en leisteen.
VINIFICATIE: De druiven worden met de hand geoogst en intensief ingeweekt. De gisting wordt gestopt door toevoeging van wijnalcohol, waarna 6 jaar houtrijping op grote vaten volgt.
DRUIVEN: tinta roriz, touriga franca, touriga nacional
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 20,00%
GEUR & SMAAK: Prachtige diep paarse kleur met donkere tonen van zwarte bes en balsamico en zoete geuren van zoethout en mokka.
Afdronk is warm en mondvullend met mooie, zachte en goed
geïntegreerde tannines.
SERVEERSUGGESTIE: Een heerlijk glas bij Roquefort of Stilton-kaas. Maar ook verrukkelijk bij desserts met chocolade en rood of zwart fruit.
WEETJE: Croft is één van de bekendste producenten van Vintage Port. De druiven voor deze ports worden nog ouderwets getreden in ‘lagares’, lage kuipen.

Excellent critical history
Format: Kindle
A very thorough and important work, astute view and scope of a history of a philosophy and its most sweeping consequences in the modern era. However, this also tends to be postcolonialism in a nutshell and is, from that view, an argument that goes back to at least the 1950s in academia and further if you're looking for straight up anticolonial voices of the past. Also I don't like the way the author cites sources, often giving the reader no clue as to the specific primary source being referenced, instead referencing an entire volume or a generic secondary source. Lastly, the book falls a little short as an interrogation of the marketplace itself.

Liberals run and cower, Losurdo is here to destroy you
Format: Paperback
First the physical product review: The book came in a brand new condition with no wonky missprints or anything. Good quality paperback. Now the contents: This book is a complete vivisection of the liberal ideology. Losurdo takes you to the earliest foundations of the liberal ideology and lays bare in great detail its positions and internal contradictions. He studiously walks you through the evolution of the ideology within the context of the times to give the reader a full understanding of how the "great" liberal theorists of the time attempted to navigate the sociopolitical environment, and how their interpretations in turn affected (and continues to affect) the real politick. From the French Revolition to Nazi Germany Losurdo exposes the Liberal ideology for the exclusionary and exploitative sham that it is with Liberal theorists own words and liberal governments' historical actions. If you ever heard the expression "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" this book will fully explain why. Truly a must read that I cannot recommend enough!

The subtle counterrevolution mixed into the liberal revolutions
Format: Paperback
From the time of Marx/Engels the critique of liberalism has always been set against the heroic tale of its association with the triumph of democracy. As the author here makes clear in close detail the history of the liberal framework is not so transparent, and this can be seen in the way the world of Locke emerges from the radicalism of the English Civil War with a liberalism that will condone slavery. This legacy is inherited by the American Revolution and leaves the whole onset of its democracy ambiguous. This is the classic 'bourgeois' revolution and is what lead to the critiques of the socialists who looked back at the inner failure of the democratic revolutions behind their surface success.

A Must read for all Americans and those who appeal to the American model
Format: Hardcover
Certainly everybody who uses the words, 'freedom' 'liberal' 'democracy', as so many do so loosely, and so many who appeal to the "New'World" model do, should read this; and then take stock of the double standards and hypocrisy that existed in the past, and which still thrive today, based on discredited myths from the past two or three centuries.

A Challenge For All Liberals
Format: Paperback
I thought the book was well-written, impeccably sourced, wide-ranging, and with a thesis that can't help but make you think. Well worth your time.
