This was somewhat cloudy, but not in a way that detracted from the port. Very smooth to smell and taste, it is a port that would make a good cellar defender! The bottle did not last the night!

I was also impressed by this bt Noval 1985 since I was warned it maybe a bit too fwd and light for an 85. However in comparison with the 70 Croft or the 77 Warre its handicap became clear. This is a very nice bt of port ready to drink know but not more. The other two bts were much "umpfier", complex and serious.
