It has a clean, developed nose with notes of toffee, caramel, vanilla, hazelnuts, figs, and sweet baking spices. The palate is smooth, with medium acidity, tannins, and pronounced flavour intensity. The alcohol is reported as 20% but seems lower indicating freshness. This port is an absolutely sublime experience and is expected to last for several more years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing \u0026amp; Food Pairing Colheita Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting.
