1985 Kopke Colheita (bottled 2015)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Drunk at Quevedo's Quinta Santa Rosario with Oscar and Claudia Quevedo and Christian Gollnick. Bottled 2015. Much paler in colour than the Dalva 1985 colheita shown alongside this bottle, almost a salmon pink and only 20% opaque. Very little on the nose other some mild VA but on the palate this shows lovely nuanced honey and flower flavours. The palate develops a little more depth but remains elegant and focused around honey flavours. Honey essence and a hint of beeswax on the gentle but persistent finish. 90/100. Drunk 28-Sep-16.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
