Rich red colour, starting to soften. Attractive blackcurrant nose, sharp and hard. Restrained fruit on th palate, dominating over the firm tannins. This rewards patience, holding the port on the tongue allows good development of fruit. Big tannic aftertaste and a delightful long finish. Delicious - young but very drinkable. 88/100. 10-Jun-12. Decanted 1 hour.
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!
