Your thoughts ?

Post by Mooooony »

What feedback can you give me on a bottle of Feist Colheita 1967 port, is $132.00 per bottle a fair price ?

That's about £80. I wouldn't call it a bargain and I'd want to know when it was bottled as well. It could be an old bottling that's been hanging around rather than a proper 40 yo Colheita. Investigate.

I bought half a dozen bottles of their 1965 Colheita about 3 years ago for 12 Euro each. They were rubbish.

That does not necessarily have any bearing on how good or bad the 1967 is.

I definitely would not buy at that price, not when you can get vintage port for about 1/3rd that price.

But I have a strong preference for vintage port over colheita port.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
