TN: 1920 Croft Vintage Port
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:13 am
Decant: 40 minutes - 40 minutes after decanting this was the darkest of the first flight (1896-1927) and had a deep red centre that was just transparent and with brown tones on the rim. Again mandarins on the nose but this time there was also wood ash as well. Nicely balanced entry, not too sweet but not too dry or acidic, filling the mouth with cherry juice. The huge aftertaste was fabulous. 8/8 or 94/100.
1½ hours after decanting this port had developed a lovely rosemary aromatic in the mid-palate.
7 hours after decanting the nose had closed down but the mouth impact was so sweet and full of fruit that it compensated for the lack of smell. This port is lasting well and drinking really nicely today. 94/100. 94 points
