2003 Maynard's White Colheita Port

Post by Thomas V »

Served semi blind at around 7 Celsius

Brownish coca cola colour and unclear. A bit surprising colour for such a young white colheita?

On the nose hints of caramel and acetone.

On the palate the sweetness hits your right away with caramel, brown sugar and marzipan. There is a slight lack of acidity to balance this out, for my taste. However very nice secondary notes of Christmas spice that adds to the complexity. Long after taste. This is best while cold as the sweetness becomes to dominant with increase in temperature.
