1970 Croft

From a recent auction purchase of a case shared with DJ. Case had been previously unopened, bottles still in sleeves. Of the bottles in my half, 5 were in good condition; one had obviously leaked on the sleeve, the capsule had disintegrated, the cork appeared slightly depressed and the level was mid-shoulder; I set this bottle aside for "immediate" drinking, and opened it tonight.
Started drinking at D+2, this is as good a Cr70 as I have ever had; absolutely superb, in stunning condition, fully mature yet wuth delicious fruit and a strong firm backbone I would normally have associated with an F70. High praise and high hopes for the rest of the case. Lovely, lovely, lovely port.
