35% opacity, mature red-orange. Nose is lively, cranberries. Full mouthfeel, gentle heat, some bitterness and then drying cranberries. Acidity slightly dominates. I liked, 2 points.

Lovely sweet cherry nose. Just about still port. Very very long. Wonderful long long finish of oranges. Best finish of the night and got a point from me.

A pale rose red colour, 30% opaque. A faint nose, but faintly showing attractive and mature fruit. Big on the palate with generous levels of sweet and mature fruit. Rich and very fruity on the palate, perhaps a little jammy. A bit disjointed, lacking the harmony desired in a fine, mature Port. The dry edges of the wine do not match well to the fruit. 85/100.
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!
