Was planning to go to the cricket at the Oval that evening. Might reconsider…
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

It seems that a reserve list won’t be needed.

Decision made. With others, or home alone, time to retest these notes of 6⅓ years prior:
jdaw1 wrote: ↑ 13:01 Sun 31 Jan 2016 GM86 , decanted 2pm. Dark red, 70% opaque. Lots of blackberry fruit, big sweetness, and a hint of black pepper. Lovely juice, not yet in perfect balance: this will reward those who can wait another half decade.

GM86 , slightly higher-toned (mint? eucalyptus?), but like its slightly older brother, needing another decade to soften the fruit and tune the balance. A very well made Port that should have been declared.

Won’t be able to make this I’m afraid. Need to get away promptly on Wednesday and so will likely be working late tomorrow.
