Df60: nosing of dark-fruit sweetness. Palate had heat, mid and late. Dark fruits, dry-ish, with plums. Might improve. Far better than the Ferreira and Cockburn; junior to the Sandeman.

A little light, but again some nice orange fruits. A bit tired and aged, which separates it from the Croft in my view, but actually decent. 85pts

Mid red, mature in colour with a light centre. Restrained, somewhat soapy nose, but a little flat. Silky texture, slightly thicker than most of the other 1960s tasted at the same event - a lovely texture. Great flavour profile with plenty of complexity. Big aftertaste and a big finish that lingers and rolls around the tongue. Very flavoursome port - shame about the nose because on the palate this puts the Sandeman to shame. 89/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Nice soft nose - good weight with dried fruits, a little heat in the mid-palate then a nice long finish which still has some dry tannin.
