Pç70: brown, 60% opaque; weird yuck nose, not tasted.

1970 Poças. Brick red, slightly cloudy making the opacity very difficult to judge. A little baked on the nose and on the palate where the fruit is dried out and slightly bitter. Bitter, but still rather pleasant. 87/100. Oporto bottled. Double decanted 10 hours.

[Sample taken on night and consumed on 13/10/25] Cloudy reddish brown liquid. Nose revolting. Not tasted.
