Barolo ,1964
Riveleto
Description and Reviews:
Barolo lies just south-west of Alba in Italy's north-western Piedmont region. It is considered one of the finest and longest-lived wines, often referred to as 'the king of wines and the wine of kings'. Wine production is strictly limited to the vineyards located on steep hills around the towns of Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba and Monforte d'Alba, Despite the different characteristics of these wines due to the varied terroir, they do display similar traits. These include a garnet color, powerful structure, firm tannins and high levels of acidity and alcohol, with the capacity to age for many years. They are also characterized by their unmistakable aromas of tar and roses. Made from pure Nebbiolo Barolo is required to spend at least three years ageing, of which two must be spent in wood and one in bottle. For the added designation of riserva, the ageing time increases to five years. As the tannins soften over time, the complexity shows through with hints of earth, truffles and dark chocolate
1964 Kopke Colheita ,1964
Colheita Port
Description and Reviews:
The 1964 Colheita Port has a deep, golden amber colour with a green olive tint.
The initial aromas are as wonderful as you would expect from such a rare delicacy, brimming with green herbs, particularly fennel and celery and a warm ginger spiciness.
There are also some developed nutty/creamy characters hinting at nougat.
The palate starts off with intense sweetness, followed up by beautifully balanced acidity. Long finish.
