2009 Port Gala
Friday, January 30th, Colheita tasting
Flight 3 - 1966 Porto Rocha Colheita, 1966 Kopke Colheita, 1974 Quinta do Noval Colheita, Mystery Colheita
1966 Porto Rocha Colheita
Very slightly cloudy in the glass. Actually not really cloudy, but just not crystal clear either.
Slightly tart smell, possibly slightly sour. The dried apricots have been out in the sun too long, I think.
Nicely rich flavor, though, including a good buttery overtone.
A nice Colheita, but up against amazing competition in this flight.
