NV Cyprus Ruby Sweet Port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A very brown tone to the colour, 20% opaque. Milk chocolate on the nose, a little dirty. Nicely balanced entry but the mid-palate feels a little light. Mature and elderly, held together by the acidity. Gentle and lovely and on the decline. Served blind this was guessed to be Cockburn 1947. 88/100. Tasted at a "Bring a Bottle" tasting at the Boot & Flogger on 20-Jan-22.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
