V12 100% opacity. Slightly corked, but such a big wine it was dominated by the huge thick plum and prune fruits.

Bottle 2488. Deep purple colour with no rim. Cigar ash on the nose, TCA on the palate. Not rated. NR
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!
