1963 Dalva Golden White Colheita

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Very pale, the colour of weak barley-sugar; 5% opaque. A little closed on the nose, but very colheita-like. Fresh entry, nice balance with a light and elegant body; a good dose of acidity and even some tannins. Big aftertaste, big finish of long length. 92/100. Drunk 18 October 2011.
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!
