The Kopke Harvest 1981 reveals a vibrating dark amber color. On the nose you can feel all the delicacy of floral scents such as violets and roses, and a nutty fragrance perfectly combined with the freshness of citrus and slight notes of spices. On the palate it reveals has a concentrated wine, powerful and with an incredible depth, providing an amazing finish

Like all tawny port, colheita is best when it is chilled like a white Burgundy (14 ° C) and served in small white wine glasses (Riedel Vinum Riesling for example).
Remains enjoyable up to a few months (4 to 6 months) after opening, provided you always close the bottle with the original stopper and store it at a constant temperature of about 12 degrees.
