Kopke Colheita 1941 750ml

Kopke Colheita is a single-vintage Tawny Port from Portugal's Douro region, matured for an extended period in wood before bottling. The ageing process develops complexity while preserving freshness, producing an expressive fortified wine whose character and composition vary according to the individual harvest and time spent maturing.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with creme brulee, toasted almond tart, aged Gouda, or walnut cake.

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 1941 Colheita Tawny Port, bottled in November 2015 with 126 grams per liter of residual sugar, is a marvel. The acidity here makes this very lively, startlingly fresh and young. Add the endless finish and lingering flavors to the very fine structure, and this becomes irresistible. Penetrating and intense, it is also simply delicious, the intensity of flavor matching the structure easily. The aromatics are fabulous, too. Put this next to an open window and walk towards it. You should probably be able to smell it from about ten feet away. It is also perfectly balanced.

95 Points - Wine & Spirits

Best not to be disappointed if you open this bottle and find a sweet old Port with notes of brown sugar, molasses and chocolate. Just leave some in the glass and come back in a few hours. You might find a wine that's delicious, all that sweetness integrated into savory notes of salted caramels, pecans and spicy red berries. It's a supple beauty well worth the wait.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

While this wine from a year that was not declared as a vintage, it has sweetness and ripe caramel and toffee character and it does, inevitably, show some age. So the acidity and intense wood flavors are dominant, giving a wine that is dry while still very drinkable. It is a Port that is so concentrated and dense - the distillation of a tawny. Drink this impressive wine now.
