95 Decanter:
"Founded in 1588, Croft claims the distinction of being the longest-established company still involved in Port production. Given the ideal ripening conditions during August and September 2000, a week of light rain in mid-September rounded off a great vintage, resulting in a wine of intense colour, attractive aromas and full body. RM Withdrawn on the nose, underlying ripe minty fruit and a touch of gum cistus; tight-knit, spicy berry fruit with firm tannins leading to a long, gripping finish. A lovely wine. SJ Spicy, minty and floral nose. Sweet and sour palate, rich and savoury. Well-judged acidity keeps the wine attractively balanced. So much potential: a keeper that will reward. DW Youthful, tensioned and taut. Plenty of nascent fruit plumpness despite the tannic gristle – needs more slumber"
