TNR: 1996 Broadbent Colheita (Madeira?)

Post by Mike Kerr »

Kinda scratching my head on this. My local wine shop has a port "class" tonight featuring Broadbent selections (guest speaker is Julia Pearson). Here's the list:

Quinta do Crasto LBV 99
Broadbent Auction Reserve Port Lot #1
Ferreira Quinta do Porto 10 Year Old Tawny
Broadbent Vintage Port 1994
Broadbent 5 yr Madeira
Broadbent Colheita 96 Madeira

I wish I could make it - would really like to try that '94. I looked at the Broadbent website and I can see a '96 Colheita but it's under the Madeira section. I'm assuming this is a traditional Colheita. The only items that really stick out for me are the VP and the colheita.

Has anyone tried this '96 colheita from Broadbent before?

Mike.

Mike,

If you would like to obtain the 1994 Broadbent VP that has been well stored since release, let me know. I know where there is a pristine stash.
