Description
The 2012 Barros Colheita Port is a single-vintage Tawny that reflects the craftsmanship of one of Portugal’s most respected Port houses. Aged in seasoned oak casks for over a decade, this Colheita has had time to develop the mellow complexity and soft elegance typical of aged Tawnies, while still retaining the freshness and vibrancy of its vintage.
In the glass, the wine shows a warm amber colour with russet highlights. The nose is inviting, with lifted aromas of dried apricots, candied citrus peel, toasted almonds, and a touch of spice. Notes of vanilla, caramel, and soft oak come through gently, the result of its extended time in wood.
The palate is silky and refined, offering flavours of figs, walnuts, toffee, and orange zest. There’s a lovely balance between the residual sweetness and the wine’s natural acidity, which gives it freshness and length. It finishes clean and elegant, with lingering notes of spice, dried fruit, and subtle wood.
Perfectly enjoyable on its own, the 2012 Barros Colheita also pairs beautifully with nutty desserts, aged cheeses, or even dark chocolate. It makes a wonderful gift for a birthday or anniversary from 2012, offering both approachability and depth in a ready-to-enjoy format. Best served slightly chilled.
