NV Kopke White 20YO

Post by JacobH »

Part of the DIY Kopke Tawny + White Tasting.

Notes: A measure darker than the 2003 White Colheita: light caramel, fading to nothing on the edge. Good nose: a little dark sugar. Perhaps some speculoos? The mouth is reasonably sweet: certainly no drier than the tawny. There is a little orange followed by a long caramel aftertaste. This is really good, although not as quaffable as the 2003 White Colheita.

Tasted at: DIY Kopke Tasting, Part 2

Date: 2nd January 2022

Rated*: C

* A Note on Ratings

My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are weighted slightly by their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port might receive a C rating for Certainly good which it might not were it to be a Vintage Port. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
