This wine was produced by the Grandfather of Alexander Krogoll, one of the dinner guests, in honour of his Great Grandmother who was 100 years old in 1970 and who died at the grand old age of 105.
The wine we consumed was bottled in 1990 in a frosted glass bottle with a pink wax capsule.
This was a very enjoyable glass of port with all the hallmarks of a good Colhieta: rich golden brown colour, caramel and nuts on the nose and a thick mouthfeel. Very little heat, which was unexpected given the extended decanting time of around 15 seconds
It was a great honour to have the chance to enjoy a wine that is so very personal to the Krogoll family and my thanks go to Alexander and his Mother and Father for allowing me to share it with them.
Score:
Drinking pleasure = 11
Where's it going = 105
So, that's 11:105 on the Uncle Tom scale
