1965 Krohn

Post by jdaw1 »

Within the regulation week of DRT’s 51st birthday, we (DRT, JDAW, IDJ, AHB, THRA, SCD, CPR, ARM, and TC) brought “a bottle of VP, blind or sighted” to the Boot and Flogger.

Pale rosewood in colour with an orange rim, 20% opaque. Pungent nose with lots of molasses and grapefruit. Sweet on entry with perfumed honey and a lovely elegance. Nicely balanced with a powerful acidity lying under the honey. Not overly complex but very pleasant. Honey aftertaste with a long and delicate finish. A lovely port. 87/100.
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!
