S1873. Orange, 25% opaque. Nose very spirity, and became moe spirity with the passage of time. To taste a burst of sweet cloyingness, then very hot, but a long ending.

It is always a privilege to taste such ancient bottles, but, as drink, not liked.

Golden orange in colour, 20% opaque. Nosing of orange peel and compost. Sharp, sweet and full of orange peel on the palate. A long finish of tangy seville orange marmalade, Very intense and amazingly alive. Sadly, 5 hours later this had fallen apart in the glass. 86/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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