Yellowish rim, wine browning. Palate has some turkish delight, and a nice eucalyptus note. Attractive.

N60, red-gold colour, 20%. A little harsh on the nose with dried fruit, dried apple and golden syrup. Lovely on the palate, full of flavour with a touch of fire. Warm aftertaste, cocktail cherry on a slightly short finish. Nice wine. 90/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
