1867 Royal Oporto Carvalhas Colheita (bottled 2023)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

ROC1867c cask sample drawn 2023: Smooth, elegant, balanced. Full of gentle honey and flowers. So beautiful with wonderful complexity. An exquisite wine. So elegant and beautiful. 98/100. Tasted in the Royal Oporto masterclass at the BFT on 20-Apr-23. Decanted 1 hour.
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!

Nutty nose. Very sweet but decent acidity. A hint of fruit which is surprising! Bit spirity in the mouth, quite nutty.

A huge privilege to try so many thanks to the BFT team and RCV.
