"Pale fox red – still that rusty hue that indicates a fawn-colored wine. Deep, rich, and fully ripe nose, with aromas of mahogany, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, aged leather, and almost black pepper. A beautiful freshness that superbly balances the sweetness, with tannins that leave an impression of dry wine, even though this is obviously not the case. This wine cries out for a hard cheese! Long, mellow finish with nutty notes. Some people simply won't like the mature style (but then, why buy a 40-year-old tawny if that's the case?), but this is a good example of it." (Jancis Robinson 2020)

Wine rating (2017 guide) 94/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
The 40-year-old tawny port, bottled in 2015, is a blend of grape varieties with 135 grams of residual sugar per liter. Very fresh, very elegant, and relatively young for a 40-year-old, it is only moderately complex for its age, a little light on molasses notes, if you will. However, its youthfulness and nutty nuances are rather magnificent in themselves. Lively and delicious, it has an appealing sweet touch. 2016-2065

About wine:
Made from a blend of old vines, this port is a classic of its kind. It has an old gold color and a concentration due to nearly 40 years of barrel aging. The spicy aromas and acidity are balanced by the heady scents of this wine. Ready to drink now.
