Description and Reviews:
1974 Colheita Port Exclusive to VWP.
This rare port-wine has been stored in seasoned oak casks since the 1974 harvest until it was bottled this year.

Tasting Notes: The 1974 Port from Maynard has a very complex nose with marked volatile acidity, exotic wood, liquorice sauce, orange zest, lavender and light nougat. Medium weight, elegant and quite intense on the palate. Intense and long finish.
