1984 Kopke Colheita (bottled 2009)
Posted: 23:25 Sun 24 Jan 2010
Bottled 2009. Just for interest, this was tasted alongside Warre Otima 10 year old (opened a few days ago).
The Kopke looked surprisingly young, indeed only slightly browner, and no darker, than the Warre.
The usual nuttiness, dominating heat but good acidity. Didn't show like a 25 year-old wine, but good drinking nonetheless despite all that heat. Perhaps '84 wasn't the strongest of vintages. Preferred the Warre in terms of balance.
