The best Christmas wines suggestions from the english wine critic Jamie Goode includes Poças Colheita 1995 Port.
The expert says on the daily Sunday Express “Colheita is a wonderful but rarely seen style of port. It’s a tawny, which means it’s been aged for a long time in barrels, but unlike most tawnies this is vintage dated. It tastes of sweet, mellow red cherries and plums with a hint of cedary spiciness”.

The wine critic wrote about this 2015 bottled Port – “Lighter styled in weight, this is a complex and nicely focused, with a fine and flavorful finish. Showing nice grip and length, it has a lifted feel with the acidity, sugar and fruit mingling well together. Overall, it’s a lovely Colheita that should drink well indefinitely”.
