1952 Rocha Colheita Port

[Kris Henderson]

This was bottled in 2005. The color is a dark copper, kind of like a penny from 1983. The nose is deep, and enticing. It's got dried cherries, baking spices, coffee, dates, caramel, and pralines. Good balance on the palate with nice big acidity and even some very subtle tannin. Long finish with a slightly bitter walnut taste.

24 hours later, it is much the same. Still very enjoyable. 95 points.
