Decanter priming sample. Pleasant enough. Not rated.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!

N75 A lovely, attractive balance of red/brown in colour as the port begins to tawny. Nice fruits on the nose and through the taste to a smooth finish with some light heat.

30%, cloudy red brown. Curious nose, swan matches maybe? Quite syrupy, dry and acidic, fruit fading, oranges.

N75. Red, 40% opaque. Of the nose MPM said “swan matches”. Pall full, at least early; heat mid-palate; and a soft mature ending. Long, with heat. Good but not great.
