1966 Kopke Colheita Port
B 2021. Light tea with light green just showing. Old wood and toffee. Deep and rich from the get go. Old wood varnish, tea leaves, mahogany, and wood spices. Just as this starts to feel cloying the acidity really pops out keeping it lively and fresh. A very long lingering palate and finish. This just hangs on in the mouth for a very long time. A fantastic old Port that still shows such remarkable freshness. 95 Points

I had a bottle of the '66 Kopke only last week; it was superb, as ever. The '96 Justino's tinta negra colheita - which I normally quite enjoy - consumed alongside the Kopke came across like water in comparison.
