1970 Dalva

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Red-ochre colour, 60% opaque. Nosing of stewed fruit and some VA, but very muted. The VA shows on the palate, detracting from the light weight body; there is still some sweet and stewed fruit that is balanced by a decent dose of acidity. Pleasant aftertaste. Overall this is a light wine that has little complexity to it. 84/100. Drunk 11-Nov-15. Decanted 5 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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