Krohn 2005 Colheita: Tasting Notes

This page provides an overview of my notes on the Krohn 2005 Colheita. Apologies if the notes are brief (or non-existent); they are mainly recorded for my benefit with public distribution being a secondary priority!

I always enjoy hearing from other Port-drinkers. If you find these notes helpful; or find yourself violently disagreeing with me about them, please do not hesitate to contact me at: port­@­J­a­c­o­b­-­H­e­a­d­.­c­o­m­.

The Notes

Tasting 1

Notes: Bottled 2021. Reasonably dark but transparent. The middle has a touch of red left but is going towards orange. The nose has some concentrated spices. Nutmeg, perhaps? The mouth is not particularly sweet nor acidic with few fresh fruits. There is a degree of dryness, perhaps some tannins, which gives it a seriousness sometimes missing. The aftertaste is not indefinitely long but present and quite sweet. A bargain at £20!

Date: 3rd January 2022

Rated*: P+

* A Note on Ratings

My rating system attempts to answer the question “is this a good Port?” one of three ways: N—No; P—Possibly; or C—Certainly. Ports generally are weighted slightly by their category. Therefore, a Ruby Port might receive a C rating for Certainly good which it might not were it to be a Vintage Port. I sometimes modify my rating with a plus or minus indicating that the Port is better or worse than might be expected for this category.
