Warre's 1987 Colheita port

[Jorog]

Essentially vintage tawney, a single vintage aged in barrels until bottling.

While I didn't have high expectations, I was a bit dissappointed in this port. It lacks the complexity, smoothness and finish of a good australian tawney and lacks the fruit and depth of a good vintage port. Honey color with a slight ruby accent. Aromas weren't bad, slightly nutty but not concentrated. In the mouth, the wood dominated with very light fruit and a slightly hot, short finish with cough syrup hints. More like sherry than port to me, I can't recommend it.
