1997 Pocas

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1997 Pocas Junior
Drunk at the Confraria dinner. Appearing to be maturing, some bricking showing. Nosing of chocolate digestives and sous bois. Nice palate, lots of tannins and sweet fruit. Good structure and good youth. Chalky tannins drive the finish with plenty of lingering and pleasant sweet fruit. 86/100. 22-Jun-17. Decanted 12 hours.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
