TN: 1970 Croft Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 24 hours - En magnum. Solid red colour, but lighter than the Noval shown alongside. Slightly flat on the nose, what shows is floral and slightly orangey. Slightly woody impact that disappeared with more time in the glass and some very noticeable rose perfume flavours. Bubble gum aftertaste, sweet and a little unbalanced but this opens into a long and balanced finish. Overall this wine lacks a little balance on the palate and has a strangely soapy tone to the fruit and has a lack of acidity to be a great port. 90/100. Drunk after 24 hours decanting. 90 points
