NV Kopke Tawny 30YO (bottled 2015)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2015. Served chilled and therefore showing little on the nose. A lovely, smooth texture. A great structure on the palate with significant tannins compensating for limited acidity to balance the sweetness and dried fruit. The combination is unusual for a TWIoA and combine to give a great palate. Sadly the lack of acidity does detract from the aftertaste and finish and results in a slightly flabby impression. 88/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
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!
