Provenance of the bottle is that the bottle was acquired as lot 593 of Sotheby’s Wine Sale of 17 March 2010.
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!

T00, red brown, 30% opaque. Early-palate bitterness, still some raspberry, soft texture, light, with a hint of Bakewell tart.
