TN: 1997 Barros Colheita, Portugal.
Although I was not present at a recent Port tasting, DeVine staff said "Bob, try this", seems I missed a real treat.
$26 Cdn for a split, nice looking package. The color was a light to medium brownish amber but appeared rather cloudy. Is this typical?
Caramel, toffee on the nose and seemed rather spirity to me but could not really detract. Fine aromatics which held up well over a 5 day period.
Dried fruits, raisins on the entry palate. Caramel on a lengthy finish which is a tad hot. sweet, good complexity...I like the roasted almond feel here. Very good acidity, dried cherries by day 3 and more raisins. Think I should dabble a tad more with these wines.
