Contributed by RAYC: Not much on the nose. Nice thick texture with Terry's Chocolate Orange being the predominant flavour. I guessed this one correctly but was helped by the clue that the bottle had a hard plastic capsule and a loose cork, which is typical of the English bottling of this wine.

Re: 1963 Croft
Cr63. Brown, only 20% opaque. No nose. Soft. Little fruit, such as there is being red. Heat mid-palate, strong heat. DRT was correct; I thought Gould Campbell ’77; others thought Cruz ’85; Taylor ’66; unknown ’70.
