1944 Nieport Colheita
Bottled 1974
The second of the "WWII Colheitas", the tawny was a similar colour as the '40 Kopke (dark brown with a light brown / lime rim). The aromatics were lighter than expected and I couldn't get much off of it. The palate was full of spices and caramel but was one dimensional. I suspect it has to do with the 36 years its been sitting in the bottle for, this could be much better with a newer bottling. 89 points
Tasted on July 31, 2010 as part of FTLOP's 5th Anniversary tasting.
