G45: dar red, 40% opaque. Nose noted as ‟Oh dear. Off.”, and later as ‟Still stinking”. Taste very acidic. JDAW.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Good colour, but unpleasant nose - full of rubbery oxidation; perhaps this has been maderised. Not tasted and not rated.

This did improve in the glass, slowly developing an attractive aftertaste and finish.

NR. 12-Jun-12. Decanted 3 hours.
