Post by jdaw1 »

On Saturday 9th May 2015 we had a splendid horizontal of 1945 in The RAF Club, ably arranged by Axel Probst/WorldOfPort.de.

Burnt ochre in colour, 50% opaque. A harsh nose, acidic and bitter but not horrific. Sweet on the palate, balanced, but rather hollow. A little gentle orange marmalade on the late palate. Big and powerful aftertaste; big finish of great length. Very fine finish. Tough to score because of the flaws on the nose and hollowness of the palate but compensated to some extent by the aftertaste and finish. 87/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Fd45. Red-brown, 50% opaque. Palate had big fruit, and toffee. Strange — with varnish. Extra-burnt caramel. DJ remarked “green bitterness”.
