Description
The 1965 Vintage Port from Krohn (Wiese & Krohn) is a remarkable and now rare bottle from a vintage not widely declared, making it especially intriguing for collectors and enthusiasts. Krohn, a traditional Port house with a strong reputation for both Colheita and Vintage Ports, often releases wines that age gracefully, with firm structure and lifted aromatics.
In the glass, this 1965 Vintage Port displays a deep tawny-garnet hue, indicative of long bottle aging. The nose is richly developed, offering complex aromas of dried fig, black cherry, tobacco, roasted nuts, and hints of dark chocolate. Notes of spice, leather, and a touch of eucalyptus or mint may linger in the background—classic markers of well-aged Vintage Port.
On the palate, it is smooth and mature, with fully integrated tannins and a harmonious balance between residual sweetness and acidity. Flavours of stewed berries, molasses, walnut, and spice cake unfold in gentle layers, leading to a warm, persistent finish. Despite its age, the wine often retains a remarkable freshness and vitality when well stored.
As 1965 was not a broadly declared year, bottlings like this from Krohn represent a unique expression—less common but often beautifully evolved. This Vintage Port is ideal for drinking now, offering a contemplative and rewarding experience with cheese, dark chocolate, or simply on its own to mark a special occasion.
