Amber colour with bright golden hues. Complex and delicate on the nose, it reveals resin-like aromas well combined with notes of almond, honey and candied orange peel. Sweet, elegant and balanced on the palate, nicely wrapped in hints of caramel. A long and enduring finish.

RECOMMENDATIONS Ideal with walnut and almond cakes. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.

The 1957 Colheita Tawny Port was seen before, but it's worth revisiting in the USA, since it's a great wine. This is also the new 2015 bottling. It has 127 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is stunning how youthful this is. Lush and rich on opening, it has mature flavors that emerge, easily demonstrating the complexity and concentrated aromatics one expects. Gripping on the finish, this delivers fruit flavor and seems to linger indefinitely. When I first saw this, it was tasted next to even more brilliant Colheitas and a bit overshadowed. On its own, it is even more stunning. It was pretty fine next to some other greats here as well.
