1970 Dalva

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Red-ochre colour, 60% opaque. Nosing of stewed fruit and some VA, but very muted. The VA shows on the palate, detracting from the light weight body; there is still some sweet and stewed fruit that is balanced by a decent dose of acidity. Pleasant aftertaste. Overall this is a light wine that has little complexity to it. 84/100. Drunk 11-Nov-15. Decanted 5 hours.
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!
