Kopke

Colheita Porto Port Blend 1978

Fabien Lainé
9.4

The oldest Port wine house since 1638 - delivers again its specialty a great and classic colheita, very gourmand in its style, it is elegant and fine with great and long acidity, much vanilla notes and spicy profile, maybe missing a bit of length - however a great port :) #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago

Colheita Porto Port Blend 1976

9.1

Rich, more concentrate, brownish color like, lack of complexity but has power, citrusy fruit notes but lack of fruit character, short in mouth, more tobacco notes, lack of acidity, a more quiet style to me #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago

Porto Quevedo

Vintage Porto 1974

Fabien Lainé
9.2

A port that needs time to open up, it is clean and rich, while having marked noted of oxydation it still has fruit notes - the acidity is there with a light spicy character, a delicate and complex port that unveils a nice finish #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago

1978 First vintage port made and bottled in the Douro - from a magnum, a very floral and charming profile, very classy and elegant, crispy fruity red berries and fresh notes, light profile but nice complex spicy - a very beautiful port :) #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago

Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A.

Porto Garrafeira Port Blend 1977

Fabien Lainé
9.6

Garrafeira a style initiated by Niepoort, lets say a kind of cross between ruby and tawny even if it is more tawny style - this one was set in demi jonhs in 1982 and bottled in 2007 - Pure, clean and straight but a bit closed at beginning, a port wine that really needs time to open up - it is all about elegance, it still feels quite young and gets a beautiful freshness #PortWineDay #winelover — 9 years ago

Poças

Colheita Porto 1976

Fabien Lainé
9.4

A house well know by their colheiras ports - pale color, sweet almost coconut notes, light spicy profile, a precise wine with some elegance, drier style, almost iodine notes, medium bodied - a fine port with a good balance but could be a bit richer #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago

Colheita Porto 1974

Nice fruit notes but a rich and creamy port, spicy character, lacking of acidity, the caramel profile give it a bit of elegance but less finesse, a more muscular style - to note: more caramel notes in a Port matured in the warmer Douro, while the colder Gaia Porto, it will get more citrus notes #portwineday #winelover — 9 years ago
