Note di degustazione
Enjoyed on the very day of the 50 th anniversary of the 1974 Carnation Revolution in Portugal. Charles Symington observed how worried his ancestors must have been at the time. Fortunately, they needn’t have worried. Light, pale and fresh with a green streak for refreshment after a slightly treacly nose. (JR)

The 1974 Single Harvest Tawny Port (that's called a "Colheita" traditionally, but some producers have decided to translate) is a field blend bottled in May 2022 with a bar-top cork and 132 grams of residual sugar. A terrific Colheita, this dribbles sweet fruit and sugar over the finish while seeming bright and elevated. It is so fresh and balanced, that it is just terrific. Then, it adds all the typical flavors, the caramels and chocolates. This is great.
Very pale amber with a pale greenish rim. Light nose with hints of dried fruits and real delicacy. No exaggerated concentration. Real freshness – quite marked acidity in fact. Super-clean and with a texture that suggests this tawny port is caressing rather than assaulting the palate. Quite delicious. Long. I wonder when this was released? I assume quite recently (see my drink dates). (JR)
