2004 Croft LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Another of the Tesco half bottles sold by the cartload in 2010. Bottled 2009. Dark red in colour, opaque. Faint nose, fruity and slight green wood. Powerful on the palate, full of fruit and surprisingly tannic. Strong dose of acidity on the aftertaste and a long finish. Surprisingly powerful. 85/100. Opened 14-Feb-16. Decanted 2 days.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
