Description
The 2006 Barros Colheita Port is a beautifully matured single-vintage tawny from one of the Douro Valley’s most respected producers. Aged in seasoned oak casks for over a decade before bottling, this wine captures the essence of slow, oxidative aging — delivering richness, nuance, and smooth complexity.
In appearance, it shows a warm amber-brown hue with golden reflections, typical of aged colheitas. The nose is inviting and expressive, layered with aromas of dried apricot, toasted almonds, caramel, and soft spices, along with hints of orange peel and old wood. It’s a bouquet that reflects both finesse and depth.
On the palate, the wine is silky and balanced, with flavours of toffee, fig, walnut, and candied citrus. There’s a delicate interplay between residual sweetness and acidity, making each sip refreshing despite its age. The texture is velvety, and the finish is long and elegant, leaving notes of honeyed nuts and oak spice.
Perfect for enjoying slightly chilled, the 2006 Barros Colheita is an ideal match for crème brûlée, nutty desserts, or a quiet evening with a cheese board. It also makes a sophisticated gift for birthdays or anniversaries tied to the 2006 vintage. Ready to drink now, it does not require decanting.
