An incredible example of an old Tawny port. A rarity, as few houses will make a 40 year old tawny. This wine is olive gold in colour with rich caramel, butterscotch, hazelnut flavours. The concentration in this port also produces a wine with amazing length, which lingers beautifully in the palate.

Tasting notes

Olive bronze in color, this is an exotic, intense old tawny with layers of penetrating aromas and flavors of caramel, burnt sugar, chocolate, toffee, nuts and toasted spice in a dense, luxuriantly textured palate which is underscored by a fine, elegant acidic backbone.

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points (May 2011) Ultimate Wine Challenge 2011 Finalist. Cola-like color. Meaty, very mature, oaky bouquet of prunes and mince meat. Tastes of raisins, oak, and baked fruits.Is nutty and nougat-like in extended finish.
