Deep red, medium rim. Fragrant nose that is fruity and very full. Youthful entry that comes across as aggressive; light on fruit at first with powerful and gripping tannins. Fruity finish, long and full of chewy, tannic blackcurrant. 90/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

V08. Medium weight. Grit, fruit, and heat — too hot.
