1985 KWV Port

[Alex Bridgeman]

Tasted at JDAW's Cellar Reduction Dinner on 16th February 2022.

Brick red in colour, opaque at the centre with a wide rim. Gentle sweet mandarins on the nose. Smooth texture on entry, gentle tannins in softly baked fruit. Nice acidity keeping the palate and fruit fresh. Cedar and cinnamon finish of good length. Enjoyable. 85/100. drunk 16-Feb-22. Decanted 3½ hours.
