2011 Croft

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Pronounced fragrant fruity nose which developed more complexity over a few days. Plenty of fruit on the palate, backed up by firm tannins and a lovely structure. Develops a big palate presence with more air, with lots of floral nuances. Big, grippy aftertaste and a long finish. This is great port. 95-97. Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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