This the same group as the
3/22 TN.
Had the bottling 7 times before-TN-18+ to 19/20.
This bottle at 16/20 is different.
Fourth day-coffee filter-dregs but
I turned off the TV just spent 40 minutes over it.
Great 20/20.
The best glass of the 8 bottles-Wow-I can't explain it.
VP can be unbelievable.
This not the best glass that is 1945 Croft but out of 1500-2000 btl's it is very high.

Maybe bad luck-Bottle tonite-A leaker-why I used it but another 16/20.
Still a great wine to drink-not normally label driven but???

Any idea who the bottler was? I know this can be a mystery. The bottles I have are not marked by the specific UK bottler :-(

No-nothing on the bottle-was told the source was UK.

You know your a Port nut when you drink two glasses a 100^ temp(A/C).

I drink it year round. In summer, just toss it in the fridge for a bit to cool it down a little (or a lot in the case of young or basic Tawny's).
