S66, decanted 15:35. Red, 40% opaque. Palate of raspberry and white pepper, and soft. Really lovely mature Port.

Later still very good, but slightly flabbier than at the start.

Purchased by Justin for £19.50 from an Irish merchant in the 1980s and cellared by him since that time. This was a pleasant, middle of the pack Port, nicely mature but overshadowed by others. (Notes lost.)
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!
