1994 Pocas Colheita (bottled 2014)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2014. Deep amber peach in colour, 30% opaque. Powerful oxidative nose of ground almonds and pistachio paste. Flavoursome entry, of smoky dried apricots and brazil nuts. A touch of coffee shows on the mid-palate before a wave of fresh orange acidity cleanses everything. Lovely coffee and toffee aftertaste and a lingering nutty finish. Very nice. 89/100. May 2015.
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!
