Popped and poured from fridge. Om first sniff I thought that is unfair to a wine of this quality so I let it sit in glass.
A beautiful tangerine colour.
Nose has orange peel oil, nuts, tarragon and rancio.
Sweet honeyed entry but it dries fast to a nutty finish with dried unsulphured mango and papaya.
This is really quality stuff. Is this the best 1973 port of all?

Re: 1973 Quinta de Devesa White Colheita
The Casa de Santa Eufemia Reserva Especial White is from 1973 or I should say was originally from 1973 and is very nice, but probably not as good as the Devesa. I believe the story goes that the folks at Casa de Santa Eufemia did not submit the proper paperwork in time to have this declared as a 1973 and as such they couldn't put the year on the label; hence the name Reserva Especial White.
