GC66, decanted 15:45. Red, 40% opaque. Unlike the other ’66s, as if not from this set. A dark meatiness, perhaps turkey leg, with long sweetness. Soft. In this company strange, but liked.

Written from memory the day after the tasting as my notes have been lost. Bottled by Peatling & Cawdron. Gentle and evolved to deliver tertiary flavours; soft and perfectly drinkable but not great Port.
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!
