Barros Vintage Port 2005 75 cl. 20%
The Barros 2005 vintage has a very solid, lively rosy color and a nose with a fresh, almost herbal edge to bright raspberries and vinous fruit, in a style that immediately suggests this is a lighter, fresher style of Port. On the palate there is plenty of sweetness, with cassis and ripe, sweet liquid cherries, but also a hint of raisin and date-like fruit. Some silky, vanilla and thick plum support emerges in the finish, but so does some quite poignant tannin and again a slight spirity edge in a wine that might become a little more harmonious with time in bottle.
