Note di degustazione
Bottled 2018. Lightish tawny. Spicy with notes of dried grasses and dried orange peel. Deliciously fresh and with an attractive impression of dryness on the finish, though of course it is not dry. Mouth-watering and long with barley sugar on the finish but no excess sweetness. (JH)

The 1978 Colheita Tawny Port was bottled in 2015 with 119 grams per liter of residual sugar and a bar top cork (typical for the house). It is very graceful for its age, finishing with a wave of sweetness, fruit and sugar. Emphasizing the caramel more than the molasses, this is irresistibly delicious, but it becomes more complex and puts on weight as it airs and warms. The wine shows off its power and hints of Brandy on the rather tense finish, too. Overall, this is a beauty that becomes more impressive the longer you sit with it. Then, you realize that its balance is simply perfect, yet it stands out in most every category. This is very fine and the price is pretty nice for the age and the quality.
