Dark copper in colour, 30% opaque. Softly oxidised nose, smelling of sweet quince and brown sugar. Soft entry, very neutral with a little brown sugar and some floral perfume. Very soft, very light. A gentle, light and elegant Port. 86/100. Drunk 10-May-21. Decanted 6 hours.

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!
