Vieira De Sousa Colheita 2003


 Vieira De Sousa Colheita 2003

There was no indication as to when this was bottled so the length of its time in the cask is a mystery. It had a strange colour with ruby, tawny and amber in approximately even measures. It was quite turbid. There was quite a lot of fruit on the nose alongside subtle hints of oak. The flavour had a significant amount of plummy fruits tempered by some dry oak astrigency suggesting that this port had spent a fair bit of time in balseiros rather than pipas. Still it was pleasant enough to quaff.
