Description
The Croft 1963 Vintage Port is a legendary wine from a great vintage. This is a rare dumpy bottle from a Danish bottler.
1963 Vintage Ports are among the most sought-after of all Ports and it's easy to see why. The quality was superb and 25 shippers declared wines which have taken time to reach their best, a wait that was wholly worthwhile. The 1963 Croft is still full, sweet, concentrated and delicious, with a backbone that will see it give great pleasure for a long time to come. Broadbent.
Reviews: Deep burnt orange in colour, 50% opaque. Sweet oranges on the nose, full of candied orange zest like you find for sale in the markets of Dubrovnik. Sweet and thick entry, lots of slightly smoky bitter-sweet orange and a slight creaminess. A delicious burnt orange aftertaste and an enormous and long finish. A beautiful wine. Served blind, this was guessed to be Croft 1970. 93/100. 13-Jul-17. 13 hours double decanted. AHB The Port Forum
