W85, decanted 07:00. Red-purple, 95% opaque. taste mid-weight, some grittiness, and dark grape fruit. Wood on finish.

Just not ready. W85 in magnum needs another decade.

From magnum. Deep red and opaque. Much darker than the Dow 1985. Fresh fruit showing on the nose, showing loads of real fruit. Delicious red fruit on entry, with a fruit dominated palate - slightly light bodied but well poised. Generous tannins are integrating well. A lovely wine, very young and one which would benefit from further aging. 90/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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