1964 Niepoort Garrafeira

(Bottled in 1971, decanted in 1989.) Red brown in color with light haze. This has a musty chemical aroma, suggesting Band-Aid or hospital antiseptic. It tastes better than it smells, with faint dried fruit and light alcohol. However, it is thin bodied with no tannins. Later I noticed flavors of dried strawberry and peach. 86 points.
