Deep red: a fantastic colour. Quite subdued otherwise. I think AHB thought this might be a damaged bottle, although if it were it would only be mildly damaged.

Deep red, 50% opaque. A touch of bottle stink that supresses the nose. Biscuity, yeasty entry and a light- to medium-body. Surprisingly light and simple. Relatively short finish. Not a good or representative bottle of this port. 79/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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