The 2003 Colheita Tawny Port comes in with 118 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is from a big fat vintage in Douro, and this shows that in its roundness and sweet edge. The brandy shows a bit, too, but it is overwhelmed by darker fruit on the finish. This is very nice and a bit weightier than the 2007, also reviewed. It is not, of course, as fresh and elegant.
While still not old in aged tawny terms, this Port shows the balance between fruit and old wood aging flavors. It is a full, ripe wine, layering dried fruits and red fruit flavors, sweet but also with a core of dryness from the spirit. — Roger Voss
