S63. Red, 50% opacity. This improved in the glass. Initially light with strawberry, it gained weight with time, become medium, and much longer.

30% opaque, modest rose colour. Gentle, fruity nose, very elegant and attractive. Medium bodied, full of fruit - fruit which grows to very impressive levels. Perfect balance of youthful red berries with mature leathery tones. Long - very long - and lingering rose and orange aftertaste. Very, very impressive. 93/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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