2011 Kopke LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Rose red colour with a narrow rim and an opaque centre. Fragrant nose with lots of blackcurrants and a deep earthiness. Green bell peppers and redcurrants on the palate with strong tannins and a good acidity. A surprising amount of fresh fruit on the mid-palate leading to a long berry aftertaste and finish. A great length of redcurrants. Lovely but very youthful; a port which will happily cellar for 10+ years. 88/100. Tasted 02-Mar-16.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
