Deep red colour with a magenta rim and - interestingly - no bricking; 70% opaque. Still youthful on the nose with vibrant berry fruit. Smmoth entry with a nice texture and a very pleasant fruit forward palate. A lovely balance with the ghosts of tannins and perfect acidity that supports a delicious spice to the fruit. Soft and lingering on the finish, this is a modest, balanced and very pleasant port. 88/100. Decanted 4½ hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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