S77. Brick red, 60% opaque. Smoke on nose. To taste some heat, strawberry, mid weight. Lovely port.

Mature red, elegant with an edge of brown. Gently perfumed on the nose, with delightful cinnamon and spiced plums. Soft and gentle on entry, with a delicious sweetness of bruised plums and gentle cinnamon. Soft and gentle flavours and structure - very tasty and elegant, making this a lovely port. 92/100.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
