2005 Kopke White Colheita Port

[Andy Velebil]

Bottled in 2015.
A very pale golden color. Plenty of up front honey and a liquid soap nose. A well balanced palate that isn't too thick or thin in body for the light and delicate honeysuckle, and a dried flower who's name I can't recall at the moment, and white cracked pepper. The latter of which doesn't show up till the back end. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of overt spirit for such a young White Port. At this point it doesn't show a lot of complexity, especially on the finish. Since this category of white Cohleita's is relatively new for releases so young I'm not sure how this will age with more time in barrel. But I look forward to hopefully trying this again some years down the road if Kopke retained some for future releases.

I too have only very limited experience with white port... This port reminded me of Meursault. The spirit is so smooth, it belies its alcohol content.
