Could Be the Perfect Port!

Krohn Colheita 1994
$20.00
Shane’s Notes

Jen and I absolutely love the Krohn LBV, so we tried the 1994 Krohn Colheita over the weekend. The Colheita Ports are tawny style ports crafted with grapes from a single vintage. Colheitas always list the date of the Vintage and the date of bottling on the label so you can determine how long they have been aged. This particular Colheita has been cask aged for 10 years, and ten year Tawnies usually taste like a hybrid of Vintage and Tawny Port. This Colheita has a reddish color and the dominant flavors include sweet berries, hazelnuts and caramel while hints of figs and lurk in the background. This is a complex Port with a smooth texture and soft tannins. With its mild sweetness, this Port avoids that cloying sweetness that frequently ruins the inexpensive ports (Unfortunately, $20 is inexpensive for a Port). This is truly an incredible deal for the price.
