T35: brick red, 20% opaque. Nose had a red-fruited sweetness. Taste very dry. Good size and structure, but the fruit has gone.

Mature, dark orange, 20% opaque. Concentrated cherry and cedar wood but less pronounced than the 1920. Soft, gentle entry, which develops into a rich and mouthfilling sweet candy-floss which delivers a range of flavours. Long, rich and sweet finish; lots of toffee and plenty of fruit. Fabulous. 93/100. 22-Mar-13. Decanted 1½ hours.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
