| - 1983 Croft Porto Late Bottled Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (4/20/2006)
WIMLNR,NOWA,NOWS
Tasted April 20, 2006 at and offline at Danielle’s Osteria in Dallas, TX. Opened and served immediately in a restaurant provided sweet glass. Crimson color in the glass. Nose of burnt sugar, almonds and plums. Hit the palate and I’d swear this wine is corked. Slightly musty on the palate with too much alcohol. Why didn’t this show on the nose as well? Rating is being withheld. NR (flawed)

| | That's a very old LBV am I incorrect in thinking that this just could have been past it's prime by a while? Or am I completely off base? | |

I don't think you're off base at all. | |

Alway's good to hear but it's a shame about the wine. Oh well good thing they made more. | |
