Deep garnet red, just opaque at the centre. Showing little on the nose at first, a swirl releases some soft fruit. A lively fruity and balanced entry; lots of mature fruit dominates the mid-palate with an excellent balance. This port is full of fruit at all stages, including the finish. A delicious and balanced fine port. Served blind this was guessed to be Warre 1979 LBV. 90/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
