The 1977 Colheita Tawny Port, bottled in 2013 with a bar-top cork and 124 grams per liter of residual sugar, is a field blend from old vines, sourced from Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta dos Aciprestes and Quinta do Síbio. I've seen this before but not for awhile and not in this bottling. This seemed to show well, but don't expect brilliance just because it is a great Vintage Port year. It doesn't always work that way with Tawnies. This is an unusually elegant, old Tawny, not showing a lot of richness or concentration, relatively speaking, but persevering with its fresh feel. That freshness is impressive and its elegance makes it irresistible. Then, it finishes with those old tawny flavors. As with most fine old Tawnies, though, it is intense even when it is subtle and fresh. The smooth, unctuous texture is appealing, too. This is very pretty. It can hold indefinitely in theory, but note that this does have a bar-top cork—it is not expected to be held. Don't drink it too warm. Most producers recommend 58 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
