Only had one bottle of this colheita previously, at that time as Presidential in a 2011-bottling (gave it 96 pts). This time as Dalva in a 2014-bottling, and ending at 95 pts. So that means a steady level. Still have two more bottles to enjoy.
Bottled 2014. Decanted 1.5 hrs (needed). Deep cognac colour. Aroma showing nuts, minerals, caramel, wood, herbs and old cellar. Full body. Powerful taste which is also elegant, citrus, “no disturbances”, towards the end some orange peel. Well-structured, nice balance acidity/sweetness. Long aftertaste. 95 pts.
