1966 Adam

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Adams 1966, decanted 5 hours. Brick red, mature; 40% opaque. Little showing on the nose, a bit of strawberry swamped by the alcohol. Lovely primary red fruit. Nearly fully resolved tannins just hinting at remaining in the palate. Lots of acidity provides the structure, but keeps the wine delicate and poised. Sweet red fruit gums linger in the finish. Elegant and very lovely. 88/100. Drunk 27-Sep-21.
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!
