Description
The *1947 Koppenhagens Vintage Port* is a rare and historic fortified wine from the post-war era, representing a unique chapter in the history of the Douro. Produced in one of the warmest and most generous vintages of the mid-20th century, this Port has spent over seven decades maturing gracefully in bottle, developing the deep complexity, elegance, and charm that only long-aged Vintage Port can offer. Bottles from this year are exceptionally scarce, making it a prized acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
In the glass, it would likely display a deep tawny-mahogany hue, shading to an olive-green rim—classic markers of an ancient Port. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of dried fig, date, and sultana mingling with notes of caramelised walnut, cocoa, and molasses. Subtle undertones of cedar, leather, and sweet spice add to its captivating complexity, each swirl revealing new dimensions.
On the palate, the *1947 Koppenhagens* is silky and mellow, with perfectly integrated sweetness and balanced acidity providing lift. Flavours of toffee, roasted hazelnut, candied orange peel, and dark chocolate are enriched by a gentle savoury edge. The finish is exceptionally long, lingering with warm spice, dried fruit, and a hint of coffee bean.
This *1947 Koppenhagens Vintage Port* is more than a fine wine—it is a living piece of Douro history. Ideal for marking a milestone celebration or as the centrepiece of a serious cellar, it offers the rare chance to experience the elegance, depth, and heritage of a Port that has been resting for over 75 years.
