Bottled 1952, decanted 1973. Rich brick-red colour, 70% opaque. Delicious soft spiced bruised apple nose, lovely and inviting. Elegant entry with soft flavours of caramel and toffee apple. Rich and elegant palate, beautifully perfumed. A great burst of flavours on the aftertaste and a huge dry, flavoursome finish. 95/100. 12-Dec-18.
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!
