1952 Delaforce Colheita -- (Bottled 2005)

Post by Gary Richardson »

Opened and consumed on 2/25/11.

These 500ML bottles really go fast!

Bottled 2005. Purchased from Mills Fine Wine in Annapolis, Maryland ($144)

Typical aged tawny golden brown color, with some fading at the rim. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar.

Tastes: Starts with caramel and orange peel, transitioning to toasted pecans. Finishes with a hint of vanilla.

Another great Colheita from Delaforce, after the 1965 that I had a few months ago.

Overall score: 93 points

Next you need to find a bottle of Delaforce 1944. That is your mission! [imnewhere.gif]

Well, I started out with 1986, then 1979, then 1965 and just had the 1952. So I am moving in the right direction.

The 1944 seems to be a little harder to find, though. Anyway, mission accepted!

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the TN. But should I somehow miss it Gary, please email me. : )
