1945 Croft Vintage Port
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:54 pm
The Croft 1945 was quite a memorable bottle.
The port had 30 minutes of decanting. The whole room smelled like cherry/plum perfume.
Still very young with quite a fruit presence. At first a burst of well balanced fruit followed by a mid palate tone of molasses and an unusual eucalyptus/mint undertone. Very long finish with over 3 minutes of hang time. This wine still has a lot of legs. Being my first Croft 1945, this will be a port to remember. Consumption went very quickly! Could not get enough of it.
Unforgettable!
