Dumpy bottle. Mid red, mature, 20% opaque. Spicy nose, lots of nutmeg and cranberry. Sweet and focused entry; fabulous fruit, beautiful poise and balance. Terrific complexity. Stunning balance still with tannins on the palate. Amazing and fabulous port. 98/100. Drunk 04-Jun-13. Decanted 9 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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