2003 Kopke White Colheita (bottled 2020)

[Alex Bridgeman]

50% Viosinho, 20% Malvasia Fina, 15% Gouveio, 15% Rabigato. Bottled 2020. Similar pale apricot colour to the 10 year old white shown alongside this wine; 10% opaque. Sweeter and more floral nose showing vanilla pod and mango. Delightful balance and elegance on the palate. Languid fruit, sweet and touched with hyacinth perfume and so well structured from great levels of acidity and hints of tannins. There is a lovely burst of flavour on the aftertaste and then a long mango finish. 89/100. Drunk 29-Feb-20. Decanting time N/K.
