1927 Croft
1927 Croft
We drank Croft. We drank Croft, at the Boot & Flogger, on Tuesday 7th November 2023.
Re: 1927 Croft
10% opacity, straw yellow. Almonds on the nose. Soft, smooth chewy almond and vanilla. Seems like a bottle that has started to oxidise, but perhaps only recently.

Completely yellow-orange. Pure citrus with a eucalyptus note. Orange oil. Delicious but no longer really port.

Re: 1927 Croft
A very pale gold colour, 10% opaque. Oxidised on the nose, smelling more like brandy than Port; definitely not attractive. Better on the palate than on the nose. A lightweight tawny but with an ever-present layer of oxidation. Not Rated
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!
