1978 Barros Port, 1978

Colheita Port (Includes Barros gift box as shown)

Description and Reviews:
The 1978 Barros reveals an intense amber colour. A complex but attractive bouquet with prominent dried fruit aromas, combined with spicy notes and nutty flavours with a very long captivating finish. Having celebrated their 100th year trading in 2013, Barros is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious companies producing and trading in Port. Much of their success comes from Colheita ports – old tawnies from a single year matured in cask for a minimum period of seven years. Their expertise in Colheitas has established them as the stand out producer of this style. Barros leave their Colheitas to mature in cask until being hand bottled to order. The loss of wine from evaporation (the angel’s share) is much higher in comparison to bottle ageing. It is a sacrifice they are willing to make to help them achieve unsurpassed quality in their wines.

Enjoy Colheitas slightly chilled, as an aperitif or at the end of the meal with desserts, cheese, nuts and dried fruit.
