1937 Burmester Colheita Port
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:35 am
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
