1991 Croft Vintage Port: Decanted for 4.5 hours. The first few sips of this were very disappointing, and I wasn't the only one thinking this. And I had such high expectations. The color was perhaps less red than the 1970, but it was really hard to judge as it was a bit cloudy. Around the fourth or fifth sip things started to improve. This had a distinct earthy flavor. As the meal rolled around this really opened up for me and others. It went well with the main course, and by the end of the night it was jostling with the 1970 for WOTN. The 1970 was the first bottle polished off, and this one soon followed.
