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

This Colheita 1981 from Kopke has excellent structure and alluring complexity. This barrel-aged port from a rather unusual vintage has a lovely bouquet of fig, raisins and dark walnut, with a fine palate of coffee bean, citrus, orange and brown sugar, leading to a rich, smooth and lifted finish.
