S1911. Bright orange, 10% opaque. Nosing powerfully of orange and mint. Not really a port nose at al.. Richard M. ‟decaying jasmine juice”. To taste a very oleaginous texture. Later I wrote ‟awful”, John P. rightly suggested ‟cough mixture”.

Not liked at all.

10% opaque; pale gold with a green rim. Medicinal, with a strong nose of rosemary oil. Rosemary dominates the dry impact. Pleasant, light aftertaste with a distinct pine-needle edge. Old, aged and dried out. 82/100.
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!
