Croft Vintage Port 1963

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 04:46:14 -0500

Name: Croft Vintage Port
Vintage: 1963
Varietal:
Winery: Croft - Vinhos, S.A
Region: Portugal > Douro > Porto
Price: $294.99
SnoothRank: 4/5

Have61willdrink's Rating: 4.5/5
Have61willdrink's Review: Magnificent. Fruity, vibrant, layered, and complex. Nose is very powerful and intense. Creme de cassis, vanilla, dried fruits, smoke, and leather quite jammy. Color is a little light, and see through which leads me to believe this already 44 year old bottle has 10-15 more years if not longer! Sediment was noticeable, decant and strain, let breathe one hour minimum. Hold or drink now till 2020 +
-Note to drinker: (corks for this vintage are notoriously brittle so be careful).

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Winery: Latour
Region: Europe > France > Burgundy > Aloxe-corton
Price: $90.00
SnoothRank: 3.5/5

Have61willdrink's Rating: 3/5
Have61willdrink's Review: Good young burgundy that needs cellaring. Lots of redcurrant, strawberries, smoke, and considerable vibrancy on the palette, low tannins. Medium bodied decent staying power on the finish, I could have used more for the price. Nose is at first flat, then opens after 30 mins. Color is a little weak, medium red and too much clarity though the glass. Drink by 2012 but over all a good entry level Grand Vin. Price more that anything else is the deciding factor for me...I got my 02 for 60$ but would not pay 90$.
