2000 Croft

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Warm red colour, starting to develop some maturity to the tone. Attractive nose of sweet fruit and cedar, inviting. Balanced fruit, generous acidity, cherry and a powerful menthol giving considerable heat. Lots of eucalyptus on the palate but staying elegant. Slightly fiery aftertaste, long aniseed finish. Very warming, cedar and blackthorn finish with the tannins only showing up at the end of the finish. Lovely. 90/100. Decanted 31-Mar-22.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
