Shown alongside a Martinez 1967 and almost identical in colour. Sweet redcurrants on the nose, showing some mature fruit but also a little unknit. Plenty of fruit on entry, lively development on the palate. Good complexity and lovely development; tannins are almost imperceptible. Terrific aftertaste and a really lovely, refined aftertaste that lasts a long time. Very lovely, with an elegance and refinement that shows real class. 90/100. Drunk 13 Nov 2009.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
W66: Very similar in colour to the other triangle, later revealed to be Mz67, perhaps an edge darker. Nosing of ‟rotten melon”. To taste rich and lovely, heat on the side of the tongue. Later ‟rich and fat”, with coffee.
