Cliff decided that we needed a Celebration of 1955, and volunteered many many bottles. Harry organised. Others were grateful. It started at lunchtime, on Tuesday 13th June 2023, at the Boot & Flogger.
Full of enough fine sediment to make the wine opaque. Slightly damaged nose, a little barnyard brett. Little fruit is left on the palate, the wine being well on the way to being dried out, but holding on to enough fruit to still be pleasant. Light-bodied, with the bottle stink or brett on the nose also showing on the finish. 84/100. Decanted 7 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
