Hugely spicy and chocolate led with uplifting balsamic notes to compel. Very refined with a spark of tension from the refreshing acidity and an endearing touch of casky rusticity. Baking spices close this encounter. Astonishing!

Flaskehalsen

Tidligere på efteråret har jeg smagt Royal Oporto Colheita 2013, der er en meget fornuftig portvin. Men med denne 2003’er skal jeg love for, at vi har skruet helt op for niveauet – og for prisen. For 550 kroner er absolut i den høje ende, men det er også en portvin, der kan bære det. Den klassiske brunlige portvinsstil, hvor der er godt med dybde og nuancer i smagen, der er mere rosin og nødder, end den er rødfrugtet, har bare en snert af elegance og klassisk niveau, der svarer godt til den majestætiske flaske, der vel nærmest må betegnes som en karaffel. Superlækker portvin, der også koster en del.

Med en alder på over 20 år springer denne Colheita ud med en vifte af velmodne noter i retning af brun farin, friskbrygget kaffe, tørret figner og dadler, medicinskab, kamfer og eucalyptustræ. En kompleksitet der har noget fortryllende over sig, og som sætter en tyk streg under hvor magisk gammel portvin kan være. Det her skal du ikke snyde dig selv for! 95P

Wine Spectator

This has a juicy edge but remains elegant overall, with sandalwood, white ginger, dried peach and orange fruit and a long, green tea—infused finish. A flash of bitter almond echoes through at the very end. Drink now. 250 cases made.’’ – JM

Bright medium-amber hue that still has a tawny to orange tinge. Sweet and nutty, with plenty of vanilla syrup, caramel, sweet walnuts, sourdough and dried persimmons. Silky, super smooth and hedonistic, with lush sweet fruit, vanilla essence and a nutty finish full of dried fruit and sweet spices.

The 1977 Colheita Tawny Port, bottled in 2013 with a bar-top cork and 124 grams per liter of residual sugar, is a field blend from old vines, sourced from Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta dos Aciprestes and Quinta do Síbio. I've seen this before but not for awhile and not in this bottling. This seemed to show well, but don't expect brilliance just because it is a great Vintage Port year. It doesn't always work that way with Tawnies. This is an unusually elegant, old Tawny, not showing a lot of richness or concentration, relatively speaking, but persevering with its fresh feel. That freshness is impressive and its elegance makes it irresistible. Then, it finishes with those old tawny flavors. As with most fine old Tawnies, though, it is intense even when it is subtle and fresh. The smooth, unctuous texture is appealing, too. This is very pretty. It can hold indefinitely in theory, but note that this does have a bar-top cork—it is not expected to be held. Don't drink it too warm.
