Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red and opaque. Restrained nose. Pronounced soft tannins wrapped around sweet purple fruit - more grown up than the Taylor First Estate. Gentle fruit and nutskin aftertaste and a big, chewy and very fine finish. This could be cellared for 2-3 years. 86/100. Drunk 03-Jun-14.
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!
