"Wiese & Krohn have made a specialty of Colheitas, vintage-dated wood-aged Ports. This 1983, aged in wood for 28 years, is an opulent, ripe example of the style. It is sweet and very concentrated, with burnt old wood flavors to go with raisins and prunes. The acidity is intense, a fine counterpoint to the rich fruit."
