1991 J.H. Andresen Colheita Port

[Stewart T.]

• 1991 J.H. Andresen Porto Colheita - Portugal, Douro, Porto
  Tasted blind in black glasses. The nose is clean and composed, with some noticeable oxidative notes, suggestive of a Tawny Port. I get some interesting dried apricot, golden raisin, and almond skin on the nose. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with nuts, dried fig, and baked apple. I think this might be a Colheita, as it lacks the really smooth edges that I usually notice with blended Tawnies. Acidity is well-balanced, giving freshness with just a touch of sharpness. The finish is elegant, with notes of toasted hazelnut and citrus peel. (94 pts.)
