A lovely pale red. Eucalyptus on the nose, also a sarsaparilla note, and cherry cola on the palate. Lovely long delicate red-fruited finish.

BN60, pale rose gold colour, 30% opaque. Hollow on the nose but much nicer on the palate where some bright fruit shows with good acidity. Redcurrant jelly aftertaste and a nice redcurrant jelly finish 87/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
