1940 Kopke Colheita
Bottled in 1988
The Kopke was a dark brown with a light brown / lime rim (noticeably less yellow than the '37 Noval). There was quite a bit of bottle stink on the nose that was hard to get past but I picked up on some cinnamon and apple. It tasted of pecan pie and as others described, also had some rhubarb in it. I was a little disappointed with the bottle, it was good but I was hoping it'd be in the 90s, though it may be a few points higher with a better bottle. 88 points
Tasted on July 31, 2010 as part of FTLOP's 5th Anniversary tasting.
