1978 Croft Roeda
Posted: 20:40 Sun 06 Oct 2024
From an OWC case of 12 purchased from a broking list 2 or 3 years ago.
Pop, decant & pour.
Good long cork, maybe one third saturated. Bottle in excellent condition generally.
A bit cloudy due to some fine sediment, but maybe 75 % opaque. Darker than anticipated.
Not much on the nose - probably needs some decant time - but not unpleasant.
Mouth more advanced. Some nice red fruit and citrus. Next to no tannin, but good balance. Alcohol not noticeable. Quite long.
Pretty good. Like this. And often I like Roeda.
