1927 Croft

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A mid-shoulder bottle with the cork showing signs of weevil damage. Orange sienna colour, 40% opaque. Strongly oxidised on the nose showing lots of antiseptic and rosemary. Neutral entry showing no fruit, but a touch of jelly but so oxidised that it tasted like a quinado. So dry on the palate with no fruit, just pine sawdust and quinine. The dry quinine flavour cust through the aftertaste and dominates the long, bitter quinine finish. Not a good bottle at all. There was some discussion as to whether the flavour was as a result of exposure to air or was a taint due to the weevil infestation. NR. Decanted 3½ hours. Drunk 28 September 2017.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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