Barros Colheita Port 1980

Description

A Tawny Port from a single harvest and exceptional quality, aged for a minimum of 7 years in cask, representing less than 1% of the total production of Port every year. Like a Vintage Port, a Colheita is only released when the best conditions are gathered. Whilst it ages, its young fruity and fresh aromas develop through oxidation to create an increased smoothness harmony and complexity.

Tasting Notes

1980 is a classic year for Ports, whether bottled-aged or cask-aged. No exception for the Barros Colheita, it delivers great power and concentration with notes of dried fruit, spice and brown sugar. A touch restrained at first, it opens up beautifully in the glass with vivacity and great character.
