1989 Barao de Vilar White Colheita (bottled 2015)

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottled 2015. Deep amber colour, 30% opaque. Slightly odd on the nose, showing earthy fruit. Deeply flavoured palate, rich and intense with great concentration of caramelised orange. Huge aftertaste, long and intense with orange and honey although the finish stops unexpectedly suddenly. Served blind. 89/100. Drunk 17-May-22.
