1955 Martinez vintage port
Dolomore bottled. Burnished brick-red, crystal clear in the glass. On the nose, a touch of dusty raspberry. Sweet and focused entry, really attractive concentrated fruit, a big palate. Huge fruit aftertaste and finish. A tremendous port. 89/100. 13-Jun-12. Decanted 1 hour.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Mz55: dark red, 50% opaque. Nose had red cherry, heat, and some tannin. But the mouth full of big dark fruit.
