1996 Barros Colheita (bottled 2015)
Bottled 2015. Rusty red colour, 60% opaque. Toffee apples on the nose, but not much showing. Nice texture on the palate, rich and rewarding with lots of toffee apple flavours and a surprising amount of tannins that combine to give a lovely fruity and chewy palate and finish. Delicious. 91/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
