FG98. Very dark red, 90% opaque. Rich red fruit. Similar to the FP98, but fuller, and a mite better.

9,800 cases released. Rich red, showing some bricking. Turned a little acrid and oxidised on the nose, sour brambles. Balanced entry, cedar wood and dry but ripe bramble fruit. The acidity grows and dominates the structure, and burns a little on the swallow. The finish is long and dominated by blackberry pips and eventually dark chocolate. Tasty port. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
