1986 Kopke Colheita Port

[Steven Kooij]

Kopke 1986 Colheita – bottled in 2005. Rather brown. Quite fresh on the nose, with a whiff of VA. Medium bodied, hot and very sweet with overripe if not rotten fruit. Weak finish, but with a nice chocolate touch to it. 76
I’ve had the Kopke ’86 a few times now from several different bottlings, but have yet to be impressed. A year to avoid for this otherwise solid producer of Colheita, IMHO.
