Taste | Medium body. Mature, peaking and maybe a little old but elegant and balance. Menthol and much more in taste. Astonishing! Lovely and quite long and attractive finish. Unbelievable port from this year. | Average score | |

Comment | At home with the family. An extra label on the bottle are saying: This bottle of Crofts 1914 vintage Port was shipped by pipe and bottled at Chester’s Brewery Co, Ardwick for the manager Mr George Smith Thomson personal use. It has not been rebottled. /G. Hoban 1989 | Tasters | SAI, JB, SS |
