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!

Just posted for you the Wine of the Night score. I don’t have a copy of the individual scoring, but I can admit I was worse than useless.

So the 1955 MacKenzie was far and away the wine of the night?

Followed by G55, T55, and a tie for 4th between T70 and Ck63?

Also, 6 points doesn't seem bad!

From my vague recollection CEM scored highest with 7 points. A fine score.

One can well understand that memories might be vague… very sorry to have missed this one. That Mackenzie 1955 is consistently excellent port.
