S1911. Bright orange, 10% opaque. Nosing powerfully of orange and mint. Not really a port nose at al.. Richard M. ‟decaying jasmine juice”. To taste a very oleaginous texture. Later I wrote ‟awful”, John P. rightly suggested ‟cough mixture”.

Not liked at all.

10% opaque; pale gold with a green rim. Medicinal, with a strong nose of rosemary oil. Rosemary dominates the dry impact. Pleasant, light aftertaste with a distinct pine-needle edge. Old, aged and dried out. 82/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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