From a burgundy-style bottle, acquired recently from one of the major London auction houses. Light orange in colour, very transparent. Lovely mimosa oranges on the nose. Sweet flavours in the mouth, light in body but delicious and elegant orange zest mixed with other citrus fruit flavours. Very tasty in the mouth. Huge orange zest aftertaste and good length of finish. 88/100. Drunk 17 Dec 2009.

I think AlexK got this in one by describing it as ‟drinking a Terry’s Chocolate Orange”. And I thought old Croft tasted of oranges. Is all old Cálem like this?

... and I would like to point put how much I love Terry's Chocolate Orange - had a whole one to myself last week and thought of this Port every segment of the way. Delicious.

Mature brown, with a hint of red. Taste lightly tawny; no fruit; thin especially in mid-palate.
