NV Porto dos Santos Ruby Reserve
Oh my, this is something rather special. Beautifully crafted with the fruit full of summer flowers, framed with gentle and dusty tannins in a way that is just so harmonious. With the structure and fruit to reward a year or few in the cellar, this is one of the best reserve ruby Ports that I have tasted. 89/100. Open 1 day.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
