1997 Calem

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Tasted at the Confraria dinner. Deep red colour, smelling of soft bruised fruit. A lovely texture with big tannins in the cherry fruit. The tannins are ripe and firm, really nice. A much burlier and less elegant wine than the Ferreira tasted alongside. 90/100. 22-Jun-17. Decanted 12 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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