Tasting Notes
The 2003 Colheita Port, bottled in 2015 with a long cork, is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Roriz and 10% Tinta Barroca. It comes in with 120 grams per liter of residual sugar. Very dark and brandy-laced, this is not as lively as some young-ish Tawnies, but it is showing the big fruit and good concentration of the vintage. It lingers nicely and finishes with some tension. It is a relatively big boy for a young Colheita, but it is just not quite as fresh. Don't drink it too warm. Drink date: 2017-2030. Score - 90. (Mark Squires, robertparker.com, Aug. 31, 2017)
