1978 Kopke Colheita Port
Bottled 2015. Beautiful clear copper color. Creme Brulee nose with almonds. Some obvious alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavors of butterscotch, lime... and then finally some cocoa. This isn't a Douro baked monster, but instead a classic Oporto aged Colheita. Long, sneaky finish. I was told at the Kopke tasting room that the new bottling of this was a step up over previous one.... and I would agree. Very drinkable and delicious. It opened up quite a bit with time. Very good, but subtle complexity. A really lovely wine! 93 points.
