TN: 1904 Croft Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 5 hours - From a half bottle. Pale amber in colour and with a nose of antisceptic and rosemary - nowhere near as attractive as the Warre 1900 shown at the same tasting, but it does improve slightly with a swirl in the glass. The mouth is dominated by an odd earthy taste and overwhelming rosemary oil. The fruit is long gone, leaving a tired and dried out wine. The aftertaste emphasises that this is just too old, showing nothing but a dry bitterness. 80/100. 80 points
