Re: 1952 Burmester Colheita
B52 colheita: red-brown, 30% opaque. AHB’s torch revealed orange. Lotsof oxidation on the nose. Taste tawny. Full to mid-full. Very very long. Heat, on and off. Tastes older than it looks. Very good indeed.

B1952 Colheita....30% opaque with a lovely golden colour. Typical tawny nose with a lovely sweet entry with a flood of caramel followed by a smooth level of heat and a very very long finish. An exquisite Colheita.

Re: 1952 Burmester Colheita
Does anyone know / remember when this was bottled?
Deep orange, with a slight greening rim. Lovely colheita nose - really quite lovely. Rich entry, full bodied; figs and dates with dusty tannins and balancing acidity - dominated by the dates. Delicious date finish of good length. Very fine port. 87/100.

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

I think you mis-typed that. It should be 97, right?AHB wrote:Very fine port. 87/100.
I'm jealous. 1952 is typically an outstanding Colheita year. I have had a couple of other Burmester Colheitas from this era and if they were accurate reflections of Burmester's capabilities I probably would have been at least in the 94-96 range on a '52.
These exquisite Ports are wasted on you lot.
