1996 Barros Colheita (bottled 2021)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2021. Light and pale in colour, a gentle copper; 10% opaque. Pungent nose, slightly oxidised, not smelling right. A little sharp and sour on the palate, disjointed and not showing well. Hints of a baked coffee character under the disjointed palate and a powerful acidity floods over the senses on the aftertaste before a nice baked biscuit finish. Not Rated. Tasted 10-Apr-21.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
