2011 Kopke
Some red in the deep purple all the 2011 ports show. Modest nose, dominated by sweet fruit. Hesitant entry, with restrained fruit and powerful tannins dominating the structure, perhaps a little dry on the mid-palate. Dry grainy tannins show on the long finish. 87-89. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
