Lot #964. Krohn Colheita Porto Branco 1964

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Portugal, Douro, Oporto.
Score: 94 RH.
"Krohn’s White Colheita. Poured by Axel Probst post Barco Rabellos regatta. Brilliant showing and I could tell the Krohn’s wood-aged character and my blind guess was close in terms of age, but I did not think it was a white Colheita. Such a laser-focused acidity that enables this Port to evoke a level of intensity that is hard to match. The palate delivered a mélange of dried figs and apricots along with mandarin orange and toffee. I am not sure what I loved most here, the richness and soft texture or the superb length of the finish." Roy Hersh, For the Love of Port, Issue #76, 6/24/2013
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Notes: OC (4). "Matured in wood and bottled in 2008."
