87 pts – Wine Advocate
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.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/1989)

Refined, supple and fresh. Medium ruby, with a nose of plums and black pepper, medium-bodied, with medium to fine tannins and sweet black pepper and fruit flavors. A lovely glass of Port. Will improve for many years. –JS WS
