2003 Croft vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Massively extracted colour, still opaque and purple. Typical blackcurrant nose of a young port, jumping out of the glass. Entry is sweet and smooth, caressing the tongue with soft fruits. Then the fruit lozenge explodes and the tannins gently grab your teeth while the fruit just builds up to amazing levels and forces you to swallow. Length is good. 96/100. Tasted 5 October 2006.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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