1992 Andresen Colheita (bottled 2007)
Posted: 12:49 Sat 26 Apr 2008
Bottled in 2007.
Not decanted. It had such a lovely strong nose on opening, that I decided to pour straight from the bottle.
Golden brown with bright yellow rim.
What a fantastic nose! Almost too much, like it's scented! Lots of caramel and oak on the nose. Also orangepeel, vanilla and raisins.
Very thick creamy texture. Again caramel and oak on the palette, accompanied by leather, brown sugar, all sorts of dried fruit and even some mocca. There's also something sour at the tip of the tongue which gives this Colheita a pleasant freshness and even youthfullness. The alcohol is integrated nicely.
What a nose! I can't say this too often. It's a perfume!
Aftertaste reasonably long and comes in waves.
Really lovely Colheita!
