1970 Warre vintage port
The darkest of all of the wines tasted on this evening. Quite closed on the nose, with some faint sweet redcurrant. Thick in texture, sweet entry with lots of Christmas cake spice and faint marzipan. Huge levels of complexity and layering. Sweet, warm and fruity aftertaste. An absolutely delicious port with a long life ahead of it. 92/100. Drunk 15 July 2010.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Dark, thick, delicious. I thought this was another very strong showing for this wine, if a tad below its performance at the election offline. Excellent wine. Could drink this all day. 90 points (WOTN)
