Recently released in Norway, replacing the 1995 Colheita.
Bottled 2011. Decanted 2 hrs. In spite of being only 14 years, the colour is slightly more brown than red. Very pleasant aroma of mix nuts and oak. Important to decant it for 1-2 hrs in order to get rid of the alcohol in the aroma. Nicely balanced young tawny, smooth/elegant, powerful in a pleasant way. Aftertaste medium length. In general a step up from the 1995 Colheita. Have five more bottles and look forward to enjoying them. 93 pts.
