1952 Dalva Golden White Colheita
Posted: 23:58 Tue 26 Jul 2011
Tasted at this event on 19th July 2011.
Those of you who know me well are familiar with my tendency towards brevity when under pressure at a large tasting. I can honestly say that I have set a new standard with this particular note, which perhaps does not do full justice to what is generally regarded as one of the finest wines to come out of the Douro/VNG in recent times.
This is perhaps the most complete and descriptive note I have ever written using only eight keystrokes:
"Dalva 52"
You can't argue with the accuracy of the description, although I do concede that it is difficult to ascertain the finer nuances of the experience unless you concentrate very hard when reading the note.
