"Pale fox red—that characteristic rusty hue that signals a fauve wine. A deep, rich, and fully ripe nose, with aromas of mahogany, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, aged leather, and a hint of black pepper. A lovely freshness that superbly balances the sweetness, with tannins that leave an impression of a dry wine, even though that is of course not the case. This wine is crying out for a hard cheese! A long, mellow finish with notes of hazelnut. Some people simply won’t like the mature style (but then, why buy a 40-year-old tawny if that’s not the case?), but this is a fine example of it.” (Jancis Robinson 2020)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
This 40-year-old NV 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 bit light on the molasses notes, so to speak. However, its youth and nutty nuances are quite magnificent in themselves. Lively and delicious, it offers an alluring touch of sweetness. 2016–2065

About the wine:
Made from a blend of old vines, this port is a classic of its kind. It boasts a deep golden color and a rich intensity resulting from nearly 40 years of barrel aging. Its spicy aromas and acidity are balanced by the wine’s heady bouquet. Enjoy it now.
