Description

*** 94 Points Wine Spectator ***
88-90 Points Robert Parker.

Rated with 94 points (WS), the noble 2011 Kopke Vintage Port, the oldest Port Wine house celebrating this year its 375th anniversary, reveals flavours of black fruits, with notes of "plums, raspberries and cherries," and a touch of "chocolate truffles." The finish is "seductive", with hints of wood. The wine critic confirms the enormous ageing in bottle potential, suggesting to drink this wine between 2025 and 2050.

Kopke’s unique quality derives from very low yield Touriga Nacional grapes of over 100-yr-old vines and 50% of other varietals averaging 80 years. No wonder that these vintage ports rank among the top releases, since grapes are harvested from very old vines of up to 100-plus years, yielding small amounts of very intense fruit from Kopke’s famous Font Santa vineyard at Quinta São Luiz with its many gold-medal winning vintages. Quinta manager and viticulturist José Manuel Manso is shown with one of the ancient Touriga Nacional vines.

Reviews: "The 2011 Kopke has a bashful bouquet compared to its peers, demanding coaxing from the glass and reluctantly revealing pinched scents of damson, boysenberry jam and a soupcon of crème de cassis. The palate is certainly plush and sensual with lush blueberry and bilberry notes. This constitutes a more approachable vintage Port 2011 with a sweet, fleshy, corpulent finish. Fine. Tasted May 2013. " Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
