Take this, Wine Snobs: I was one of the lucky few to taste Kopke’s Colheita 1940. Mouthful and eccentric taste, grippy and long-lasting, exotic raisin cupcake and nutty aromas. Celebrating 375 years with 375 excel bottles, 760 euros each.
Not a clue, Wine Snobs? Kopke is the oldest Port producer. Port, the n1 fortified wine in the universe, the name coming from Porto, Portugal’s northern main city.
Extreme western Portugal, independent from neighbouring Spain, since 1143.
