T66, decanted 07:00. Red-pink, 30% opaque. Soft, some red fruit, but dominated by menthol. Time in the glass added heat.

My third place wine of the night; this Taylor was elegant and beautifully balanced to give a wonderful glass of Port. Mature Taylor can be such a delight and this was one of those. (Notes lost.) 93/100.
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!
