1966 Croft vintage port
Posted: 21:00 Mon 03 Oct 2011
Mid red in colour, bricking on the rim; 60% opaque. Mature nose, in the early stages of maturity. Concentrated and intense, perfumed nose - perhaps a little VA? If there is, there is not enough to detract from the nose. Thick texture in the mouth, huge impact of mature and concentrated fruit flavours with a lovely spicy acidity that is the perfect counterpoint for the fruit. Slightly hot on swallowing, but then a long and concentrated finish of spicy orange zest. Absolutely fabulous port - what all port would be if it was good enough. 94/100.
