Every wine tells a story. Kopke’s Colheitas, however, tell a unique story. To taste a wine is to taste history and, in the case of this 1980 Colheita, it means remembering a remarkable event like the launching of the cable television channel CNN in the USA, the first 24-hour all-news TV channel.
Amber in color with golden hues. Intense and enveloping on the nose, with prevailing aromas of dried fruit, and a refined hint of spice. In the mouth, it is concentrated, firm, and elegant. A wine with great depth and noble character. Impressive and persistent finish.
Served chilled, the 1980 Kopke Colheita Port reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit, and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brulée, and medium-strength cheeses.
