Bottled in the UK by the Wine Society. Deep red colour, early maturity; 50% opaque. Restrained nose, a little spiced fruit, some rosehips and cranberries. Smooth and fruit forward on the palate; bright and lively - just so full of fruit! Cranberry and raspberry aftertaste, bright with a hint of tannin. Surprisingly young, positively delicious. 92/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

45% opacity, mature red. Candy and red fruit on the nose. Full mouthfeel, chewy red fruit which is drying a little with some bitterness. Nice port.

A beautiful garnet. A stunningly good light middleweight port tonight.
