V12 100% opacity. Slightly corked, but such a big wine it was dominated by the huge thick plum and prune fruits.

Bottle 2488. Deep purple colour with no rim. Cigar ash on the nose, TCA on the palate. Not rated. NR
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
