1952 Port Vintage Report


1962-wine-gifts
A few shippers produced some reasonable 1952 ports, although it was only a small production - not a declared year. Colheita (single harvest tawny) Ports from this year are lovely, and would make an excellent 70 year old wine gift for a birthday or anniversary celebration this year.

Reviews:
"(2015) Lovely dark caramel colour, with some truffle and tea notes, edges of olive and green fruits (fig). The maturity on the palate is obvious, again with fabulous sweetness and brown sugar richness, Muscovado and walnuts, but the hallmark of the fresh orange and lemon acidity plays against that and the coffee and walnut cake sweetness and richness."
