For The Love Of Port

1951 Offley Colheita Port

Smells like a mix of raisins, iced tea and chlorine. Interesting to try it, but not much character here---it's "gently disjointed" if that makes sense in the context of a port.

Since I've never tried an old port, I was happy to taste this.

1977 Barros Colheita Port

More classical sniffs and tastes, with figs and dates and especially a walnut aftertaste. Not compelling for me, but I liked it.

Mike,

Thanks for posting the TN's, I really appreciate it and glad to have you back with us. Hope all has been well?

p.s. I moved this the TN Forum.

Hi Mike, Nice to see you here. I've had the 1977 Barros Colheita before and thought it was pretty good too.

Hi Mike,

I had that bottling at Barros not too long ago and enjoyed it too.

How is the Hack-ster? He hasn't emailed me for decanting advice lately. I wonder what's up with that?

Good to hear you enjoyed hanging out with Jay!


Come and visit more often my friend ... or in person. It's been awhile since you've seen my family!
