Nice nose - sweet entry. Excellent drinking port - not big, just very good port.

Mid red colour; 30% opaque. Orange and fresh basil on the nose. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity. Perhaps a little too acidic, but with generous levels of fruit. Dry and slightly woody tone to the finish. Sweetness dominates the finish. Slightly unbalanced, but still attractive. 84/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
