Royal Oporto Colheita 2004 75cl

Tasting Note

Soft and honeyed with sweet tobacco notes, some marzipan and a sweet berry aroma coming off. A super soft palate, very well integrated alcohol with some soft, warming spices. Raspberry jam, dried figs, cloves and cinnamon and so harmonious on the finish. A superb bottle of wine. 93pts
