Deep red with an opaque centre. Closed on the nose with just faint hints of black cherries. Smooth entry, rich in depth and full of blackberry fruit. The mid-palate is supported by powerful tannins with the tannins fading on the late palate. A wonderful, warm fruit-led aftertaste with an immense fruit and dark chocolate finish. A fabulous bottle. 94/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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