1981 Barros Colheita Port verdient aandacht binnen zijn stijl en herkomst. 1981 Barros Colheita vertelt het verhaal van één oogst die niet jong op fles werd gebracht, maar de tijd kreeg om op hout te rijpen. Juist dat onderscheidt deze Port van Vintage Port: de belangrijkste verandering gebeurt hier in het vat, onder de geleidelijke invloed van zuurstof.

The 1981 Barros Colheita tells the story of a single harvest that was not bottled young, but was given time to age in wood. That is precisely what distinguishes this Port from Vintage Port: the most significant transformation takes place here in the barrel, under the gradual influence of oxygen.
The 1981 grapes were harvested in a single growing season and then aged in wood as a Colheita. With a wine like this, it’s especially worth checking the bottling date. After all, two bottles from the same vintage may have spent different lengths of time in the barrel and, as a result, may taste different.
The youthful fruit notes give way to a softer, richer palette. Think of raisins, dried figs, walnuts, and warm spices, with a fresh hint of citrus that livens up the whole. The character of an aged Colheita lies not only in the individual aromas, but above all in how they blend together.
1981 is a wonderful vintage to give as a personal gift or to add to a collection of historic Barros vintages. The bottling year indicates how long this particular wine has spent in oak. It’s best enjoyed slightly chilled, preferably when you have the time to leisurely savor its aroma and flavor.
