2004 Croft LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2009. Dark red in colour, opaque. Nosing of sweet blackcurrants and red cherries. Deeply fruit on the palate, powerful but acidic blackcurrants and gentle tannins. The acidity is harsh on the aftertaste and warming at the start of the finish. Sweet blackcurrants on the sticky finish. 86/100. 03-Jan-16. Decanted 4 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
