TASTE NOTES
Amber golden colour, with a cloudy property that obstructs center of the glass.
Light appearance of spirits on the nose after pop'n'pour accompanied by fragrance of dried apricots and dates. There is some trace of vanilla pods as well.
This young colheita still has a very high amount of acidity that shocks the taste buds on the side of the mouth upon tasting the juice. The spirits add to the sensation of heat as they are not fully integrated into the port just yet. The viscosity is quite pleasing for this youngster but it definitely needs more time on oak to mellow out and acquire more elegant nuances. Right now it is a bit to brash to my liking.
