Kopke 50 Year Old White Port

[Eric Menchen]

(Bottled 2023.) There is more sugar in the aroma than the previously tasted wines, white 30 year old, 2005, and 2008. It also smells like fig and wood, perhaps sandalwood. There is some light, pleasant spirit as well. The flavor is very pleasant and smooth, but it isn’t as concentrated in flavor as I would hope for a 50 year old blend. Later I noticed caramel in the aroma, and it improved overall a little bit. 92 points. (18 May 24)

Disclaimer: I love vintage and tawny Ports, my favorite wines. I don't love white Port as much. My scores for white Ports are probably ~2 points or more lower than aficionados of the style.
