1970 Kopke Quinta de São Luiz Vintage Port
Color: no note due to poor lighting.
Nose: soft with a very faint whiff of alcohol and a cotton candy-like sugar. Soft and very ripe strawberries. Later, some very milky caramel.
Palate: soft raspberries, possibly some strawberries, and faint heat. Slight but present tannins. Mild acidity. Medium sweet with a medium full body. After tasting around, the heat here moved up a notch to medium.
Finish: mild, pleasant warmth with ripe strawberries. Very long for a 1970.
Score: 93 points. WOTN, though for me it was much closer than for Julian. (I think I liked the Qv07 more than Julian did.) My family all thought it was the nicest and easiest to drink also.
