Croft VPs (P81): Lovely balance between sweetness and acidity. Liquorice and floral notes dominate the nose and palate. Overall, a light wine with a med-long aftertaste and restrained sweetness. Beautiful wine and clearly one of the best VPs from 1975!

Drank this at Kam Boat with my wine mates. Theme of the night: Wines that start with B.
Criomson red in colour, with very fragrant floral notes on the nose. Beautiful wine which has aged very gracefully with an amazing maturity and pleasantry. Wines which are 30 years or older usually have sour plum notes, or odor that comes with extensive aging. This wine has none of them.
Stopped to make a delivery and had a customer offer me a tipple of this for my trouble.
The conversation and port were a great pick me up, a afternoon treat. It is only the second time I have tasted something from my birth year.
It was soft, seemingly not very alcoholic, lith and in great form. It went down easy with much glyxeral. It gives proof to my saying that Napa Cab wants to be Vintage Port.

too long ago to remember the details. i believe that keith may have brought this to a cellar tasting. i think that we liked the wine at least as much as parker did if not moreso. i further believe that we thought it to be fully mature since i don't recall tryining to locate more. the experience certainly added to the impression that croft deserves more credit than it usually receives.

Soft, gentle, feminine, and charming.

Initially a bit volatile and spirity, calmed down with a bit of air. Very light colour. Very nice mature VP
