Description
The 1927 Croft Vintage Port has an excellent provenance having been stored for decades in a good cellar in Wigan before being purchased by us.
Bottled by Justerini & Brooks
The history of J&B begins in 1749 when Giacomo Justerini, from Bologna in Italy, travelled to London to woo the Italian opera singer Margherita Bellino. Failing to win Margherita's heart, he remained in London and set himself up as a wine merchant in fashionable Pall Mall, along with a business partner, George Johnson.

Reviews
Pale brick red, tawny rim; fine, perfumed floral aromas, subdued and slightly earthy but showing the concentration of a remarkable vintage; still rich, quite powerful with fine bitter chocolate concentration mid-palate, still ripe, intense with a fine bitter-sweet finish. 17.5.
