Description

Croft 1945

Labels scuffed and worn, bottled in 1947, wax capsules 1 corroded, 1 damaged


Rich red cherries on the nose. So rich and alcoholic. Extraordinary fruit. Total velvet. The greatest Croft ever made. Voluptuous. So sweet one tends to think it is Graham, but it is its own "man" and a truly stunning Port. Another bottle had a lightish brown appearance. Very fruity, smoky bouquet - very Croft. Lovely sweet prunes and glorious walnuts. One senses the power behind it. On the palate, it starts on a fruity note and then the power, backbone and structure hit you. Long and lingering. Strength and elegance - a great achievement. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
