1910 Andresen Colheita (bottled 1973)

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottled 1973. Fusty nose, perhaps some bottle stink, underneath which was some atractive molasses and some unattractive black treacle. Smooth entry, sweet and pleasant but then some bitter tones come through that spoil the mouthfeel, but these resolve themselves to yield a balanced and pleasant mouthful of wine. The aftertaste starts with a lovely warm glow but this fades quickly. 90/100. Drunk 1 July 2007.
