fortified wine
Sogevinus Fine Wines, Kopke Colheita 1978 1978
RRP £118
Excellent in all aspects. Caramel and molasses on the nose, palate abundant with deeper toffee, vanilla and ripe prune. Cedar spices combine with fine citrus fruit around a red fruit core. Balanced and with further evolution still to come. Seriously good.
