1952 Dalva Golden White Colheita (bottled 2006)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2006. Pale gold colour, with a green rim. Strong VA on the nose, with little else showing. Sharply focused attack, with strong acidity bringing concentrated oranges and grapefruit that has a tremendous intensity. There is a slight bitterness on the aftertaste, and a modest finish of good length. Very good showing on such a short decant. 94/100. 15-Jun-12. Pop 'n' pour
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
