1970 Quinta da Devesa White Colheita (bottled 2021)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1970 Quinta de Devesa White Colheita, bottled in 2021. Open 30 minutes. A gentle golden colour, 20% opaque. Soft, perfumed nose smelling faintly of pineapple. Gentle texture with the sweet fruit a little faint, but nicely balanced by the acidity. A little peppery on the aftertaste, with some heat on the finish delivering a green tone to the pineapple flavours. Hints of honey on the late finish. Very easy to drink. 88/100.

Tasted at the pre-event lunch to the Grand 1970 Tasting on 2-3 October 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!
