Bottled 1965. Bronzed red colour, 30% opaque. Sweet red licorice strings on the nose, with candied cherry and a touch of compost. A little hollow on entry with sweetened rhubarb on the mid-palate. Mouthfilling rhubarb and rose petals on the late palate leads nicely to a big rhubarb and Turkish Delight finish that is slightly bitter but quite delicious. Served blind. 88/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
