Fortified 20% ABV ABV Croft

Really nice but bit steep
Tried this at a friend's house and tracked a bottle down online. It's lovely — balanced, not too heavy or sweet like some ports can be. Fresh acidity keeps it interesting. My only gripe is £90 is a lot of money and I'm not sure I could tell the difference between this and something half the price in a blind tasting. Still very enjoyable though.

Thirty years old and still going strong
I'm always a bit nervous buying older wines in case they've gone off or faded, but this is still full of life. Really expressive on the nose and properly layered on the palate. The finish is clean and just trails off nicely. Had it with some stilton after a roast and it was perfect.

Proper special occasion stuff
Bought this for my dad's 60th and we cracked it open after dinner. Honestly blown away — it's so smooth for something that's 20% ABV, you really don't feel the alcohol at all. The flavours just keep going and going. Not cheap at ninety quid but for a 1991 vintage port that tastes this good, I think it's fair.

Best port I've ever had
The guy at the wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something special for Christmas. It smells incredible the second you pour it — really rich and complex. Every sip gives you something different and the finish lasts forever. I've had a few vintage ports before but nothing that comes close to this.

Good but I expected more for the price
Got this as a birthday present to myself. It's a solid port — smooth, well-structured, and the acidity stops it being too cloying. But at nearly ninety quid I was expecting it to absolutely blow my mind, and it didn't quite get there. Would I buy it again? Probably not when there are decent tawnies out there for half the price.
