S85. red-pink, and tasting hugely of perfume and bright cherry. Odd.

70% opaque, deep red with an orange tone. Some slight VA on the nose, but with plenty of fruit showing. Fruit forward and sweet in the mouth, with a baked tone to the fruit from the VA. The fruit is supported by good levels of acidity. Some heat shows on the aftertaste and the fruit on the finish is dominated by a dryness from the tannins. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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