Bottled 2016. A little smelly on the nose, with a surprising amount of bottle stink. Persistence allows the stink to turn into a bruised orange. A little hollow on entry, some tannins providing a frame which the flavours of dried orange and marmalade slowly fill. Dry edged aftertaste; sticky orange marmalade finish with great length. Big and flavoursome. 91/100. Tasted 16-May-2024.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

1966 TSHT. Med tawny with some slight browning. Nose is slightly dusty with some sweet citrus and faint vanilla. Pleasant enough, but kind of plain. 91 points.

Varnish on the nose. A bit sweet on the mid-palate. Worst wine of the night, being one that I'd merely happily drink at home on my own.
