Deep red, 99% opaque. Hint of chinese spices on the nose but very restrained. Modest medium- to light-bodied entry with modest levels of red and bramble fruit. Good balance that really impresses on the palate. Chocolate and sweet raspberries on the rather sticky finish. This is a nice effort and is very drinkable. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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