TVVV95 attractive ruby red but full of fine sediment. Gentle stewed loganberry with a touch of cranberry on the nose. Nicely balanced palate, but oddly hollow on entry. More fruit on the mid-palate but surprisingly elegant and refined with the acidity shining through. Big aniseed finish with a touch of burnt sugar. Stunning length finish. Very unusual style, but one which I certainly like. 92/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
