Paling red, orange rim. Nose has a bit of eucalyptus. Palate has oranges. Rather attractive but definitely fading.

Mz60, pale burnished brick red, 10% opaque. Nothing on the nose. A vague sense of something citrus on an otherwise butterscotch palate, although a little acidity does emerge on the late palate to improve the interpretation of the wine. Lingering canned mandarin and Golden Syrup on the long finish. 88/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
