Barros Late Bottled Vintage Port 2007 (6 x 750mL), Douro, Portugal.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Limpid ruby colour.

Aroma

In the nose stands-out the dark ripe fruit notes, reminding the plum, figs and delicious blackcurrants.

Palate

With great exoticism and excellent freshness, it's a powerful LBV that surprises by the balance between the tannic strengh and elegant sweetness. Endless and perfect.

Recommendations

The wine should be stored in a fresh, dry and dark place, without temperature variations, and the bottle must remain up-right. As a natural product, the Port Wine is subject to create deposit when ageing.

Once opened, it should be consumed within 2 to 4 months. The periods here suggested are merely for guidance, not implying the deterioration of the wine but only a slow evolution that can lead to the loss of its original sensorial characteristics.

Balancing the intensity of flavours, the LBV is the ideal choice to serve with main courses of meat, like filet mignon encrusted four peppers and veal cutlet with Bérnaise sauce. Its versatility knows no borders, being perfect to combine with an exuberant cheesecake of chocolate mint, a pear and chocolate mille-feuille or simply to enjoy with cheeses of medium intensity.

The multiplicity of possible harmonies is superb, having the consumer the pleasure to go in search of new flavours. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14ºC.
