Bottled 2010
Treading the line of both a wood aged and Ruby Port there is enough dried nuts, nutmeg, and carmel mixed in with strawberries and some light tannins to keep lovers of both interested. A little heat early on the palate subsides and allows a mix of soft red fruits and roasted chestnuts to shine through. The finish is misleadingly short as those chestnuts hang ever so subtly. This younger Colheita drinks well now and I only hope to be able to try this some years from now after it has the chance to matured even more in casks.

Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
