TV95. A lovely dark red with an opaque centre. Attractive plum and raspberry nose. Sweet fruit on the palate, nicely expressive but without any of the restraint of the VV tasted alongside. Decent acidity keeps the wine fresh. Spicy aftertaste and a warm, aniseed / menthol finish. Nice redcurrant jelly length. 93/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
