Dalva 1975 Colheita, bottled 2011: Acidity stronger than ’85 and ’95; lighter, and less well balanced. I preferred the ’95. €79. JDAW, January 2013
Shown at the Dalva wine bar in Vila Nova de Gaia. Bottled 2011. Brown centre, green / orange rim; 20% opaque. Hollow nose, but sweet and cencentrated honey and orange on the palate. More intense oranges and lemons than the '85 shown alongside. Sweet finish, balanced by a nice streak of grapefruit bitterness. 89/100.
