1937 Burmester Colheita Port

[Rune EG]

Bottled 2010, so it means 73 years in oak! Relatively dark brown. Aroma in the beginning too much spirit, a little bitter and almonds. After 5.5 hrs decanting all the spirit and the bitterness had gone, and the aroma was more round and complex, actually a bit sweet. The taste was showing a balanced and pleasant port, round, nearly “fat” in style, caramel, medium body. Still a bit sharp, but in a refined way. Finish medium length. It is fun to drink such an old port, and the quality in my mind equals 91 pts

I would have guessed it was actually in wood for longer than that, Rune!

Given your last week's consumption, the 1937 actually looks like a youngster now, eh?

Hi Roy!
You gave me a good laugh now.
73 hours in oak is abt 3 days, so that will not impress anyone.
I think I will make a correction due to the Tasting Note Base.
