I re-tasted this Colheita over the holidays with some friends. I was initially disappointed with it compared to what I remembered from the Port Tasting several months ago.
But, it grew on me again.
Its colour was a beautiful amber. Not as light as I remember, but still nice.
There was a lot of oak wood on the nose plus a pleasant surprise odor of almonds.
Its flavour had hints of honey, walnuts and a light raspberry tinge. The tannins were perfect for a Colheita.
Still a very reccomendable colheita. | Posted on Dec 31, 2006 By Roy Pereira |
