Warre's, Otima Colheita , 50cl, 2006

‘Colheita’ is the Portuguese word for harvest and a Colheita Port is thus a wine from a single year and — specifically — an aged tawny Port, matured solely in wood. These wines have some similarities with Warre’s Otima 10 and 20-Year-Old (both styles are old tawnies) but as wines from a single harvest, Colheita Ports distinctively reflect the individual characteristics of one year. This Colheita has an intense deep amber colour. It has a slight hint of molasses and dates on the nose, orange peel freshness and warm, oriental spices. It also has a creamy mouthfeel with a very rich and lingering freshness.
