1984 Real Companhia Velha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1984 Real Companhia Velha. Bronze colour, slightly cloudy; 60% opaque. Burnt ginger nose, not pleasant. Better on the palate, but a little hollow and empty, lacking in fruit. Not a wine I would seek out if this is a representative bottle. 77/100. Guess: Borges 84. Was: RCV 84. Tasted 19-Feb-2025.
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!

Pale. Cloudy. Doesn't look right. Palate not right. Probably heat damaged.
