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."
