Pale red, 50% opaque and with a light rose rim. Sweet on the nose (described by RAYC as violets) but with a mild menthol and sweet floral perfume. Light bodied, delicate but very spicy—full of curry powder, Mild flavours, slightly aggressive with a tobacco bite. Short aftertaste with a bitter redcurrant finish. 83/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
My notes indicate that it was the 1992 vintage. I have never tasted the 1982 vintage, nor have I ever seen DRT with half bottles of Warre Cavadinha 1982.
