1957 Kopke Colheita (bottled 2015)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2015. Brown in colour with red hues; 50% opaque. Served very cold this had a plastic edge to the nose but was rich and concentrated on the palate with significant levels of tannins drying the cheeks. Big in flavour and with a powerful apple acidity that balances the honey sweetness, this is a well structured port. The finish is cheek-tingling and full of chewy honey. Delicious. 94/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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