|---|---|
| Description: | Wine Spectator - 93 Points A juicy and energetic tawny, featuring a live wire of acidity running through the middle of a mix of singed peanut and hazelnut, dried cherry and raspberry and red licorice notes. Offers a long, focused finish. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Cao, Sousao and Tinta Roriz. Drink now. 223 cases made. Wine Advocate - 92 Points The 2005 Colheita Tawny Port is a typical field blend of grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cao, Sousao and Tinta Roriz, bottled in 2019 with 117 grams of sugar, 21% alcohol and a long cork. A dry and pointed Colheita, this shows a little brandy to go with its focused and penetrating finish. Surprisingly complex for a young Tawny, showing dried caramel and fig nuances, it is also remarkably gripping. Overall, this is super for a young Colheita. Noval is known for Colheitas and rightly so. These age well, barring a cork failure, but that's not really the point. The end-date drinking window is just a placeholder. Also, don't drink Tawnies too warm. |
