Dark copper in colour, 30% opaque. Softly oxidised nose, smelling of sweet quince and brown sugar. Soft entry, very neutral with a little brown sugar and some floral perfume. Very soft, very light. A gentle, light and elegant Port. 86/100. Drunk 10-May-21. Decanted 6 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!
