User Tasting Notes

Score:	95 points
Notes:	Golden-Red in color with astounding clarity. It is beautiful just to view. Rich toffee, butterscotch aroma, yet light. Good acidity, almost medium dry, they way Dow can often be, but very appealing in this 20 year old port. Surprisingly light in body and delicate in flavor. This is a great 20 year old colheita. There is also a "Reserve" version bottled in 2000 rather than 2002 (States it is "15 years" in wood rather than "20" for the "Colheita" version of the same year).
