"This is a nice step up compared to the younger parts of the lineup, elegant and focused, with a precise finish, a fresh feel, little discernible brandy and a long, long finish. The classic old tawny flavors of molasses and caramel wash over the palate. This isn't big and thick, but some may very well prefer its elegant and brighter feel. In many ways, it is fresher than the 1981 or 1999 reviewed this issue, and it is better balanced than the 1937. It is very pretty." 95 points Mark Squires Wine Advocate

"Shows a slightly dark profile, with broad bread, clove and juniper notes leading the way. Exhibits good energy to the core of raisin, bitter almond and dried orange peel. Shows weight and drive through the finish, presenting a lingering toasted peanut hint." 92 points Wine Spectator

Kopke is one of the oldest Port houses in the Douro dating back to 1638 and offers an amazing selection of aged tawny ports. It's a unique opportunity to experience history in a bottle.
