1970 Croft

Croft never seems to get much publicity since the wines, while always very good, sometimes even excellent, never quite reach the superb level of the top houses in Oporto. However, Croft seems to do surprisingly well, often rivaling the top ports, in the less glamorous vintages such as 1975 and 1966. The 1970 is quite good, but in the context of the vintage, marginally disappointing. Jan 1989, www.robertparker.com
