1934 Dalva Colheita (bottled 1973)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 1973. Very dark brown in colour, opaque and cloudy. Soft on the nose, not expressive and with some VA. Sharp acidity on the tip of the tongue; not much fruit but there are some pleasant flavours and development. The aftertaste is modest, but the finish is good and lingers. Not a great wine. Not rated. Drunk 14 October 2011.
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!
