  January 19, 2023 - Bottled by Niepoort. Original note was pop-n-pour, with an update 24 hrs later. Soft round red stone fruits. Lovely wisps of licorice and tobacco dance on the tongue. Tannins are more on the softer side at this point and has nice acidity keeping it lively and fresh. Medium complexity and finish. PnP, it's in a good spot to drink now and in the nearer term, say next 10 or so years. 89 Points. 24 hours later the tannins have become more pronounced and it's showing a slightly drier palate and finish than it did on opening. I wouldn't extend the drinking window assessment from 24 hours ago, but it has improved being opened and thus I will increase my score.

  June 6, 2020 - Solid port--especially for the price. Smooth but a bit unbalanced. Nice moderate finish. If you like to drink your port over many days, this is a good choice.

  February 7, 2015 - Dry, but ends with a touch of sweetness. soft tannins. Not a whole lot of depth at this point, but may just be too young, seems like it has a way to go.

  January 1, 2015 - Solid port and a good value. Time has had a smoothing effect. I almost pushed this one up to 90, and I won't be surprised if my remaining bottle hits that mark if I wait several months.
