Dow's ages some of its best Ports for many years in seasoned oak casks in its ancient cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. This prolonged time in barrel ensures that the wines take on soft almond and walnut aromas, losing the intense red colour of its youth but gaining immense delicacy, richness and profound intensity of flavour. The word 'Colheita' means 'harvest', for Port this word is used to describe a wine from a single year that has been aged in wood for a minimum of 7 years. Dow's Colheita Ports are for savoring and immense appreciation for their intense and rare flavors.

Cherry candy, mulled plum and steeped red currant notes give this a caressing and flattering feel while black tea and cinnamon underscore the finish. A big gush of tasty tawny. Drink now.

The 2007 Colheita Tawny Port was bottled in 2019 with a bar-top cork and 119 grams of residual sugar. Sweet and luscious, this is a Colheita that goes for the hedonism. It doesn't impress all that much with its power, but in flavor, elegance and youthful exuberance, it is irresistible. It adds a fresh feel and good depth, plus those classic Tawny flavors that linger nicely on the finish. As I always note, Tawnies like this can hold a reasonable time, barring cork failures, but it is not really meant to be held, and it is ready now.
