Wine Spectator, 96 Points 

"The essence of grapes. Full-bodied and tannic, yet very classy and refined. It's got grip, but rather than smashing you over the head with structure, it seduces gently with its wonderful, well-toned muscles. Best Croft since '45." 

Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"The nose has much more definition and vigour than the ’91 with sweet ripe black cherries, bilberry and violets. Very lifted and lively. The palate is sweet, ripe and elegant with a lovely poise and tension, certainly the best Croft since the ’66. Very ripe tannins with black cherries, bilberry, cassis and a minerally quality coming through towards the finish. A return to form, a lovely Croft with a coquettish quality." 

Decanter, 

"Open, fragrant, rich and minty nose with a slight herbal note. A midweight style, with a ripe, plummy palate. Very attractive with ripe tannins and a fine, linear finish." 

Jancis Robinson, 

"Loads of sweet coffee aromas on the nose. Liqueur raspberry and strawberry on the palate and rich, perfumed length. Combines tertiary mocha characters with primary fruit very effectively."
