Three Old Ports
The following three wines were served blind over dinner on the eve of the 1994 Vintage Port tasting. I made short notes a follows:
Dalva 1967 Colheita ****
Bottled for Portuguese chef and restaurateur Rui Paula: old amber-tawny with a thin olive green rim; gentle with a touch of butterscotch on the nose, slightly lifted as you would expect from a wine of this age and really rather lovely; seemingly sweet and sour on the palate, lovely figgy fruit and not that sweet or unctuous. Lovely gentle finish. Very good. 17.5
