TN: 1944 Hooper Colheita Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 4 hours - Paler than the two Barros colheitas shown alongside; sweet honey on the nose but spoiled by some stink. A thinner consistency than the other two colheitas. Surprisingly, still some tannins in the wine, but the acidity is bitter rather than ripe. Some enjoyable flavours, but overall this is disappointing in the context of the tasting. However, the aftertaste is big, long and hugely mouthfilling. 86 points
