1998 Offley Colheita (bottled 2016)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2016. Deep orange in colour, 20% opaque. Lovely nose of warm summer days, slightly dusty. Nice texture on the palate, spritely balance with good acidity supporting the quince and sour pear. Lovely honey aftertaste and finish. 89/100. Drunk 04-Apr-17.
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!
