2005 Kopke LBV Port
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2011 1:02 pm
LBV's are not really my favorite, but Graham and Quevedo 2003 have made me try new ways. Picked up this 2005 on a vacation for about 12€.
Dark red color, which was the best part. The alcohol in this LBV was more dominant than I've ever experienced. The nose was sharp and not pleasant at all. The taste was completely dominated by the alcohol without any fruit to balance it, and I have to say that this was a port I didn't really like. I tried it over three days, and it mellowed a little bit, but not enough. A big dissapointment.
