Juicy and focused, with jasmine, white tea, roasted peach and date aromas and flavors allied to a viscous yet fresh texture, ending with a subtle hint of praline. Lovely. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. Drink now. 100 cases imported.

The 2000 Colheita Tawny Port is a roughly equal blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca coming in with 116 grams of residual sugar. This release was bottled in July 2020 with a bar-top cork. There is a reason to pay the extra money and trade up from the 2001-although a small reason. The 2001 is a little gentler and more precise. This might be a little more complex and fuller bodied-a little. What I often see as the difference between the two vintages is depth-the 2000s were a bit fatter in vintage style, which often shows in the Colheitas as well. Here, that comes through too, but modestly. They are both lovely. I’d take this if I had to choose, but it’s worth noting that the 2001 is a very nice buy.

This wood-aged tawny is still fresh, boasting fruit as well as old-wood maturity. It has ripeness shot through with intense acidity. With its richness and balance between raisin and red fruits, the Port is perfectly ready to drink.
