2005 Kopke Colheita White Port
This 2005 Kopke Colheita White pours a brilliant, deep golden-amber with a glittering rim. The nose is expressive, weaving aromas of dried apricot, Japanese pear, and honeycomb with toasted hazelnuts and a delicate floral lift. On the palate, it is richly textured yet precise, delivering waves of orange marmalade and baking spice that are energized by a piercing, racy acidity. The finish is surprisingly long and clean, resolving into a savory, saline snap of grapefruit zest and almond skin.
