Df03, purple, 100% opaque. Nose had lemon meringue. Chewy, and full of young tannic grip.

Opaque, deep red. Bramble and purple fruit on the nose, gentle tannins on the palate. Tannins get very big but support the slightly dirty fruit, but the tannins dominate at the moment. 86/100.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Very dark. Good minty aroma. Good flavours but closed down. Will be good.
