1996 Barros Colheita (bottled 2016)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2016. Light brown in colour, very pale, less than 10% opaque. Fresh apples and pineapples on the nose. Pineapple and peaches on the palate, languid but with a bitter core at the centre. A slight, bitter finish with good length. 87/100. Tasted 02-Mar-16.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
