Purchased as part of a parcel of four identical but unknown bottles at the Straker Chadwick sale of April 2007. Identified from the branded cork, confirmed when one of the four bottles was opened at the 2007 Port Forum Christmas event.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

T20, red brown, 20% opaque. Very very soft, Cointreau, white pepper spice mid palate, still lovely.
