    Tasting Notes
    Deep amber in colour, classic for its age. On the nose, reveals immense aromatic intensity, with notes of bitter almond, toasted nuts and raisins, beautifully complexed with hints of old oak and caramel. On the palate, the wine’s age adds a complex, slightly oxidative quality that is both unique and intriguing, yet with the intensity driven by age and the acidity that creates a long, lasting finish.

    Serving & Food Pairing:
    Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline. Once opened colheita Port should be stored in a fridge and should be consumed within 3 months.

    95 Points - Wine Spectator
    A rich and warming dessert wine, which makes it a great choice for special occasions or as a luxurious gift. Pricing for this vintage generally falls around $150-$200 per bottle, reflecting its quality and rarity.

    92 pts - Robert Parker
    It's wine with a darkened aspect and a brownish colour. Iodine, lacquer, dry figs and other indistinct red fruits (eg. cherry)aromas. It's still a wine with some acidity, fat and a good end.
