1952 Dalva Golden White Colheita Port
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 3:00 pm
Tasted with Gonçalo Devesas at C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia on 03-OCT-2010 as part of the 2010 Port Harvest Tour.
1952 Dalva Golden White Colheita
bottled Oct 2009
Characteristic banana. Some coconut milk. Very faint soap-like note (derived from coconut for me). Very nice, very rich. A real lip-smacker.
Score: 94 points. Possibly my best showing for a '52 Golden White, but others disagreed that this bottle was showing particularly well. Perhaps I have just been unlucky?
