Description
The 2014 Barros Colheita Port is a youthful yet elegantly crafted single-vintage Tawny Port, showcasing the approachable style for which Barros is well known. Made from traditional Douro grape varieties and aged in oak casks, this Colheita offers an early glimpse into the complexity and finesse that time in barrel can bring, even at a relatively young age.
Its bright amber colour with golden highlights hints at the wine’s freshness and balance. The nose is fragrant and lively, delivering aromas of dried apricot, citrus peel, toasted almond, and a soft undercurrent of caramel and vanilla. Despite its youth, there’s an emerging maturity and depth that sets it apart from standard blended tawnies.
On the palate, the 2014 Colheita is smooth and rounded, with a lovely interplay between sweet dried fruit, roasted nuts, and warming spice. There’s a subtle oak influence from its time in cask, but the wine retains freshness and lift thanks to its gentle acidity. The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of orange zest and fig.
This Colheita is ready to enjoy now, especially slightly chilled as an after-dinner drink or paired with desserts like nut-based pastries, treacle tart, or aged cheese. It also makes a great birthday or anniversary gift from the 2014 vintage. While it can age further in bottle, it offers immediate charm and excellent value.
