Bottled 2014. Decanted 1.5 hrs, which is needed. Clear, transparent amber colour. Aroma of citrus, oak and some dust. Full body. Powerful taste, elegant, citrus, burnt sugar with a touch of caramel. Long, powerful aftertaste of oranges and orange peel and touch of grapefruit juice. Nice tannins and balance acidity/sweetness. 95 pts.

I had that wine at the old Dalva Port Lodge on my first trip to Porto in 2005 with Roy. That Colheita is fantastic! Glad to hear that it's showing well.
