2000 Croft

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

More evolved and with more bricking that the Taylor 2000 shown alongside. Sharp cherries and brown sugar on the nose. Balanced entry, showing attractive fruit and decent tannins with nice acidity. Good palate presence; lovely lifted fruit. Soft, gentle aftertaste and a fruit driven finish. Open and drinking well today. 90/100. Drunk 14-May-14.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
