20% opacity, brown red. Seaweed nose. Quick to heat with some caramel. Really dry finish and quite spiritous.

Copper red colour, 10% opaque. Slight soapiness to the nose along with some burnt fruit. A good thick texture, bringing sourness and bitterness to the tongue. The bitterness is soapy and not pleasant . Bitter finish. Surely not a representative bottle. Not rated. Decanted 8 hours.
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!

A light pink to light ochre core. This was corked to my nose and mouth.
