1963 Romariz Colheita Port

[Richard Henderson]

A superb Colheita. Nice dried fruit nose and entry. Not too hot. Lots of raisen, dried fig notes. Long finish 92 points.

[Glenn E.]

Perfect timing! I'm going to be opening one of these (bottled in 1997) in the next day or two.

What was the bottling date on yours?

[Roy Hersh]

I´ve had this twice in a few days. Once with Glenn from a bottle he brought over and again, last night at Vinologia in Porto. I was not impressed either time and Glenn´s bottle was not showing any love at all as it was tight as a closed fist. Just about no amount of coaxing could help it. The bottle last night did not particularly show well either. I´ve certainly had better 1963 Colheitas and Burmester comes immediately to mind.

Glad to see that Richard´s bottle did not show the heat that these two exhibited and that he had a positive experience.
