1970 Poças. Brick red, slightly cloudy making the opacity very difficult to judge. A little baked on the nose and on the palate where the fruit is dried out and slightly bitter. Bitter, but still rather pleasant. 87/100. Oporto bottled. Double decanted 10 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!
