Barros Colheita 2008 Portwine

€ 33.70

A 2008 Colheita portwine. Brownish tones with a rich and intense nose aromas of dried figs, raisins and fine notes of ripe fruit and vanilla. In the mouth, it is light and fresh, with acidic fruit tastes perfectly combined with the sweetness of the wine, ending in a ravishing Harvest
