Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #7 - Kopke

Port, port, port...and we're not talking about the left side of a boat here, were talking that mysterious beverage from Portugal..Port, a fortified wine with a long history has many styles and variation within those..there are tawny's which have lighter and more caramel tones, ruby ports which are rich and unctuous with deep grape and brooding fruit notes and vintage ports which are only produced in the best years, usually no more than 5 vintages are declared in a decacde..so this juice is pretty precious..Kopke is the oldest producer of port on the planet goin all the way back to the mid-late 1600's..and recently i had a chance to taste their '57 which was absolutely amazing, almost etherial..this 2000 is excellent, showing signs of a bit of bottle age, and this juice will develop wonderfully in the bottle over the next 20+ years..

gettin down with the Kopke 2000 vintage port..
