Tasting note

Barros' 1977 Colheita should offer Touriga Nacional aromas of dried fig, plum and dark berries, with warm spice. Douro fruit is expected to feel mature and concentrated, a softened texture balanced by enough acidity to give the palate shape. Its projected drinking horizon ended in 2000, so bottle condition will dominate the experience. If sound, the finish may be gentle, with dried fruit, spice and earthy tones.
