1970 Dalva vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Mid-red in colour, giving the impression of a mature port. Sweet and spicy on the nose, but with a streak of lime acidity. Sweetness holds through the palate, with a good balance between fruit and ripe acidity and a decent aftertaste. 82/100. Drunk 17 Dec 2009.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Brick red fading to brown. Nose of smoke. Taste: mature nice port. Weight middling to middling+. Good drinking port.
