"The beautiful old gold color of this wine sets the scene for a Port that is rich, lusciously sweet but also shot through with acidity. It is this balance that makes for a gorgeous wine, ripe and fresh, rich and mature. Drink now. -RV"

"The 1981 Colheita Tawny Port comes in with 150 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is lovely, dark, burnished and unctuous. From a rather poor vintage year, this still shows well, demonstrating yet again that you can't necessarily assume vintage years control the quality of Colheitas. It doesn't have a lot of depth, but the flavor and texture are very fine, laced with dried caramel and just a touch of brandy. There is that bit of alcohol in the background. The finish is long, though, and filled with flavor. It is bright and lifted. "

Colheita Port is a single vintage-dated Tawny Port. It is similar to Tawny Port in production, appearance and flavor, but the key difference is that Colheita is the product of a single vintage and can therefore show considerable variation from year to year.

It is aged in wood for at least seven years, giving it a nutty, oxidized character. Although legally required to spend seven years in barrel, often spends as long as 20 years. During this time, the wine undergoes oxidative aging, making it closer in style to Aged Tawny than any other Port style.

Super special treat
