1947 Barros Colheita

Post by nicos neocleous »

Drank on 14 Oct 2007 with Roy Hersh and Charles Morgan in London.

1947 Barros – Colheita (Douro, Portugal)

Bottled in June 2007, my thanks to Roy for bringing this gem along. This is the first Port I have ever drunk from 1947. Light mahogany brown with a tinge of light red and a terracotta rim. The complex nose of beeswax, citrus fruit, dry white flowers and a hint of milk chocolate. Sip after sip revealed a spicy, delicate but light on its feet nectar. Ever so long lasting length, warming, lovely acidity that makes a mark on my tongue. A treasure and an honour to drink. Not huge in presence but very delicate and mellow. 96/100.

Very well put. Any others like the 1906 (2nd tasting : ) or others you noted? Your descriptors are great. 8--)
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Roy,
Thank you for your generous praise. I have now posted my thoughts on those special Ports from our 2nd night at The Crusting Pipe offline. A night to remember...

Cheers.
