Description

Wine Journal
Neal Martin 90

Another russet core with amber rim. The nose is very well-defined with a femininity to it: orange zest, vase of old roses, cigar box and a hint of liquorice. There is an exotic element in the background the never comes to the fore. The palate has good weight and focus with sweet, viscous honeyed texture, but perhaps lacking the intellect of the ’35 or the ’45. But the finish is very elegant and supple although I would have preferred greater length. A good performance for Croft, but out-classed by others in this vintage. Tasted November 2007.

Buying Guide, 2nd Edition # B4
Jan 1989 Robert Parker 86

Croft never seems to get much publicity since the wines, while always very good, sometimes even excellent, never quite reach the superb level of the top houses in Oporto. However, Croft seems to do surprisingly well, often rivaling the top ports, in the less glamorous vintages such as 1975 and 1966. The 1963, one of the great vintages for port, is good but unexciting.
