Granada, muitos reflexos esverdeados. O nariz remete para algum caramelizado, pastelaria fina e noz. Tanino certeiro, volume em contexto, final mais iodado do que o restante conjunto faria supor. Tem graça pelos contrastes que demonstra.

The 1992 Colheita Tawny Port is a field blend made up of roughly 35% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz, 15% Touriga Nacional, 10% Tinta Barroca and others, aged for 24 years in used oak. This, the third release of this 1992, was bottled in 2018 with a long cork and 101 grams of residual sugar. Juicy and lively, this dribbles the sugar over the palate at first taste, but it quickly dries out and becomes more about the complexity, the bitter chocolate. The finish is long, powerful and penetrating. Some may prefer more sex appeal, but I liked this a lot. There will be another few releases of this as it gets older but with increasingly long times between releases.
