Cr75: red-pink, 40% opaque. Middle-to-light weight, candy-tastic with no fruit. Very pleasant, but simple. Nice drinking, if cheap.

Sweet nose - very different to all the others in the line-up. Light and slightly woody (tawny, not corked). Nice drinking port but outclassed by the four that preceded it.

Mid red colour, light centre, 30% opaque. Sweet brown sugar on the nose, with a touch of cedar wood. Medium- light-bodied; sweet and sugary, not much fruit and a touch hollow. Sweet candied fruit on the finish, full of Turkish Delight. Simple and sweet. 81/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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