Re: 1970 Croft
Modest orange-red colour, 50% opaque. Fresh fruit on the nose, lively and quite young. Thick in texture, beautifully poised and elegant; intense on the palate with multiple latyers giving good complexity. A stunning palate delivers a lingering jelly bean aftertaste and a long finish. This is a stunning bottle of port. Served blind, was guessed to be Taylor 1970. 95/100.
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.
