The Barros Quinta Galeira vintage port has a very solid, vibrant crimson color. A fresh nose, with a flavor of frybons and herbs. A style that immediately suggests that this is a lighter, fresher portwine. In the mouth there is enough sweetness, with cassis and ripe sweet cherries. Harmonic and silky finish
