Kopke 30 Year Old White Port NV (375ML)

94 WA / 94 WE / 92 WS

The NV 30 Year Old White Port was bottled in 2017 with a bar-top cork and 120 grams per liter of residual sugar. Simply gorgeous, this has a sweet conclusion, but it also adds some Tawny-like flavor to go with its fresh feel. There is fine grip on the finish, the acidity lacing the fruit into the palate. Depending on how cold you drink it, you might be forgiven for guessing "Tawny" if you taste it blind (and it looks a little tawny in color, too). Beautifully put together, this should do well over the next couple of decades, in all likelihood, or more. They are not really meant to be held, though. This is only available in half bottles, to which the price applies. MS – The Wine Advocate Drink 2018-2050

Dark gold in color, this Port relishes its age. Like an aged tawny, it has lost its fruit at this mature stage, while gaining the rich, intense character that comes from long wood aging. It has concentrated acidity and a long, lingering aftertaste. Drink now. Roger Voss – Wine Enthusiast

Lush, with butterscotch, dried apricot and vanilla flavors that are long and richly spiced. This really sings midpalate, presenting vibrant acidity and iodine accents. Drink now. 200 cases imported. — KM – Wine Spectator
