August 19, 2020 - Bright amber colour. can smell the richness and sweetness of the first sip. Honey, marzipan, nutty and rancio flavours. in mouth, it is bold, rich and powerfull. I usually appreciate and rate Dalva ports in a higher manner. This bottle lacks of acidity and subtlety to balance the alcohol.
paired with cheeses but would better pair with deserts. -

August 10, 2020 - Nuts in the nose, very fresh start, slightly sour. Sweet with marzipan. In the finish the nuts are dominating again, lots of hazelnuts and walnuts. Great Colheita.

October 21, 2019 - Rancio character with hints of burnt orange. Quite a strong line of acidity through this that gave it length on the finish as well as keeping it fresh.
