FEATURES

The 1967 C da Silva Dalva Reserve Port, often identified as a Colheita Port for its single-vintage, wood-aged character, is a remarkable sweet wine that offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Dalva is celebrated for its precise craftsmanship in producing these aged treasures, showcasing the unique character of a single harvest refined by decades. This 1967 vintage, a field blend, is surprisingly youthful for its age, with its inherent sweetness gracefully masking a deeper complexity, gradually revealing nuanced old tawny characteristics. Its most impressive feature is a beautifully lingering finish. Tasting notes describe a bright amber color with complex aromas of rich dried fruits, caramel, and nutty spice. The palate unfolds with flavors of apricot, sweet berry, marmalade, and toasty nutty notes, all well-balanced by lively acidity. Expect a smooth, nutty spice character on the long finish. Further nuances include raisin, prune, fig, plum, blackberry, honey, balsamic, earthy undertones, vanilla, caramel, baking spices, red fruit, brown sugar, hazelnut, mint, pepper, cinnamon, cocoa, and butterscotch. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This exquisite Port is a perfect match for mature and hard cheeses, especially blue cheese. It also harmonizes beautifully with desserts featuring chocolate and caramel. 🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal for a contemplative tasting, a significant anniversary, or as a distinguished digestif after a fine meal. Given its venerable age, approaching this bottle with care is paramount. Expect the cork to be fragile; a Durand opener or an Ah-So cork puller is highly recommended to prevent breakage. Decanting is advisable to separate any sediment that may have formed over the decades and to allow the wine to breathe and fully express its complex bouquet. Serve it gently, perhaps slightly chilled around 16°C (60°F), to best appreciate its nuanced flavors without overwhelming its delicate structure. 【A surprisingly youthful and complex single-vintage Port from 1967, showcasing exceptional longevity and a lingering finish】
