Violet colour. A fresh, floral nose, nicely developed. Lush and velvety texture on entry. Chocolate tannins are very firm at first but these then fade back into the fruit to reveal the sweet, rich fruit again. A touch empty on the immediate aftertaste before a long, strong licorice root takes hold. 94-96. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
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!
