1977 Niepoort: the palest, really quite brown and translucent. The nose best described by Anthony Heading as “syrupy”, then as “rum and raison ice cream”. Very light in the mouth, with a little heat in the back of the mouth, though with some oil. The ‘oldest’ of these ports, by a long margin. Score 4-2.

JL: “it is a little light”, “the length on it is not where I like it to be”, “lacks length”, “cleaner than the Cachão”, “higher-toned fruit than the Cachão”.

Jay remarked on the badge that is “a darling attachment”.
