1968 Andresen Colheita (bottled 2007)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2007. Light red colour, clear and glowing. Colheita nose. Sweet in the mouth, very full and flavoursome; richa and tasty. Full of dried citrus fruit. Slightly subdued immediate aftertaste, long in length. A really impressive wine. 92/100. 17 Dec 2009.
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!

This was an unexpectedly good Port.I'd bought it from Laithwaites as a snap purchase as it sounded a good idea then immediately regretted it until we drank it. Lots of citrus but a really multi-layered Port and may even have got Julian to appreciate an Andreson.
Port is basically a red drink

Following KillerB’s mis-spelt optimism I shall quote precisely from my handwritten Notes. ‟Orange”. ‟Acidic. Marzipan. Way too old. Doesn’t do it for me. Colheita.”

Comes from a "non-vintage” year. Clear, with a nice amber-orange colour.
Beautiful nose, rich, unctuous, and a lovely body.
I really love this Colheita!
