This is a vintage (1978) tawny port, which I think is unique to Kopke. It was bottled in 2017, which makes it a 39 year tawny from a single vintage. This stuff is liquid nirvana. The color is a flowing andesine gemstone in the glass. The nose is cinnamon, vanilla, stewed cherry, baked peach and apple pie. More cinnamon and spice in the mouth along with vanilla bean ice cream and a mulled fruit symphony. The finish is tangy and sweet with long lasting acid. The best tawny port I have ever tasted.
