1989 Barao de Vilar White Colheita (bottled 2015)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2015. Deep amber colour, 30% opaque. Slightly odd on the nose, showing earthy fruit. Deeply flavoured palate, rich and intense with great concentration of caramelised orange. Huge aftertaste, long and intense with orange and honey although the finish stops unexpectedly suddenly. Served blind. 89/100. Drunk 17-May-22.

Back to the review thread
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

35% opacity, brown amber, darkest of those on show. Honey and almond on the nose. Silky smooth, extracted citrus and almonds.
