S66, dark red, 60% opacity. To taste big red fruit, but impaired by a slight roughness.

60% opaque, deep rose colour. Neutral or hollow nose showing very little. A little thin and acidic on the palate; fruit is there but is astringent and with barely perceptible tannins. Dry aftertaste, with a sweetend redcurrant finish. 87/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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