1980 Andresen Colheita (bottled 2022)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A cask sample drawn around 6 hours before being tasted.

1980 Andresen colheita cask sample: vanilla shortbread on the nose. Surprisingly dry entry on the palate, good grip; dark honey and bitter orange peel. The finish is stunning; dry, soft tannins and immense dried orange zest. Stunning. 94/100. Tasted 14-Oct-22.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
