Description and Reviews:
Colheita Ports are known for their elegance and finesse. This 1995 Colheita Port by J W Hart showcases the characteristics of a single vintage and reflects the careful aging process in oak barrels.

Tasting Notes:
Elegant and complex with an amalgamation of rich flavours of dried fruits like figs, dates and apricots. Notes of walnuts, with hints of caramel and toffee and an exuberant note of vanilla and spice. The sweetness is balanced by a good level of acidity, which adds structure and complexity. Long and lingering finish, with spicy and warming aftertaste.

Serving & Food Pairing
