Description

At last a vintage of quality and quantity to meet an equally ripe and responding market. The best since 1948, the most widely declared - 26 shippers - since 1927. ***** Michael Broadbent.

A russet core with clear rim. A light nose that lacks a little lift and personality with notes of cigar box, iron rust and dried fruits. The palate is better with good concentration, quite a sturdy, resolute port, masculine and conservative, a no-frills, focused wine with notes of mulberry, sloes, lemongrass and fig with great depth on the finish. A more mercurial Croft, constantly changing in the glass and yet it always returns to being a rather stoic port, the antithesis of the more flamboyant ’47 (although the ’55 is much better.) Drink now, but do not be afraid to cellar for longer.
