A glorious garnet.

Splendid rich port, still vigorous and full of and cherry notes. Long, long, long.

F60, dark rose red. 50% opaque. Subdued red fruit on the nose. Rich and still quite youthful raspberry and rose petal palate. Extremely expressive on the aftertaste, with a slightly green edge to the finish. Very good. 93/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
