Vista Alegre Coheita 2000 Bottled 2013

Vista Alegre Colheita 2000 Bottled 2013


It is always interesting to see how a colheita develops with subsequent bottlings. This port had a bright clear amber colour with a rich nose redolent with the scent of dried fruits, which was significantly more developed that at our first encounter. The flavour was rich and warming with a subtle sweetness tempered by the astringent oak elements. This was followed by a long after taste marked by a satisfyingly smooth caramel experience.
