Dalva Colheita 1990 bottled in 2018

Dalva Colheita 1990 bottled  in 2018

Clear light amber colour with a warm and oaky nose. This port had great body combining strong citrus elements with a marked sweetness tempered by a bitter oakiness. There was a long and satisfing finish with woody orange flavours lingering in the mouth long after the liquid had left.

M&S Special Reserve


A dark ruby colour gave away the nature of this port. The colour was matched with a rich and fruity nose. The flavour was quite approachable having a rich sweetness tempered by hints of a soft fruitiness. The richness came from a combination of residual tannins and underlying oak flavours. All in all this was a good example of a ruby reserve.
