Brownish brick colour. Exuberant and intense nose with aromas of jammy fruit well combined with aromas of black plum, liquorice and spice. Smooth and elegant in the mouth, with rm silky tannins merging wonderfully into a dense and refreshing finish.
Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit and spice, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brulée and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
Gold-tinted red in color, this Port shows light sweetness coupled with caramel and sour cherry notes as well as high acidity. It is a distinctive and enjoyable Colheita Port. B+

Delicious and lively, making the slightly ruddy color deceptive. Lively notes of cherry and plum meld with a distinct chocolate note, hinting at chicory on the back end. Chewy, with a light raisin quality, touched with spice and some modest licorice on the finish. Tawny Port tends to be a bit more brooding, but this 2013 is quite refreshing and gentle. A-
