Kopke 10 Year Old
It's been eight years since I last had some of this so it is time to see if there have been any changes. Deep reddish amber colour with a distinguished nose of old wood and dark sugar. Oak flavours were very much to the fore in this full bodied and complex port. They were tempered by the sweet taste of dried fruits and orange peel. I have always been impressed by the robustness of Kopke's aged tawnies and this one certainly lives up to that reputation.
I thought it was time to share my research into port wine with the world. It has been hardwork but someone had to do it.

Well it's been ten years since I last tasted this one so let's see if anything has changed. Clear reddish amber in colour with fruit and dried peel on the nose. The taste was rich and smooth combining dried fruits and oak with notable citrus hints. It was the striking presence of orangey flavours that differed from the previous tasting. Overall they contribute to making this a fine port indeed.
