Full tawny colour. Pronounced and developed nose with honey, fig, raisins, cinnamon, orange marmalade, toffee, licorice, dried orange and roasted walnuts. Pronounced taste of fig, raisins, honey, cinnamon, toasted walnuts, licorice, orange peel, vanilla, smoke and caramel. Long and sweet finish. High acidity. Full body. A very good Colheita from a good vintage. Drink now or over the next ten years. Goes well with meditation, or with caramel based, nut based or chocolate based desserts.

Outstanding Tawny port. Well balanced, not on the sweet side. Goes down smooth...too smooth, be careful :)
