GC77 (‘JDAW}, though brought by RAYC). Very dark red, 90% opaque. Generally proclaimed to be corked. Consistent with the very fast fading of the dark fruits present early-palate.

Deep red in colour and opaque. Slightly corked on the nose. Some concentrated sweet fruit makes a brief appearance on the palate before the TCA dominates the mid and late palate. This still retains a deep and concentrated finish. Not rated. 6 hour decant.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

Yet another corked GC77. A pity, and such a lovely port underneath...
