Decanter: 94 Points “This sings from the glass with sweet spice, marmalade, molasses, clove, nutty, toffee, caramel and balsamic perfume. A very complex array of flavors, including roasted coffee, scorched earth, fig and walnut. A distinctive style, done very well. Highly impressive.” 

Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points “The wonderful old-gold color of this tawny leads into a generous, rich wine that has retained fruits while also showing a woody character that is typical of wines this old. With spice, dried raisins and intense acidity, it is a beautiful wine that deserves to be drunk just by itself.”

Producer's Notes: Several battles were won with other types of tawny, but ultimate victory came within sight with the 20 years Port and the war was finally won with the 30 years. Harmonising these old wines, which are full of personality and character, is not an easy task. In the tasting room, decisions are very difficult.  Here nature gives place to knowledge, to a serene and wise wine, which, like a kind old man, tells grandiose stories to the young.  Earthly passions give way to volatile, esterified, wood-scented ambiences, free from the schist, from the redness.  It is a dive into an ethereal, limpid world, performed at the unique and constant rhythm of a Port Wine Cellar.

Tasting notes: A magnificent tawny color with orange tones. The bottom of the glass is bright, with traces of tawny-red that develop into a greenish halo characteristic of old cask-aged wines. It has an admirably elegant aroma. At first, it is warm and charming. Aromas of vanilla and dry fruit and nuts immediately appear as the result of its aging process. Upon agitation of the glass, spicy aromas such as cinnamon and cocoa become prominent. Satiny and long-lasting in the mouth. A taste of nuts such as almond and hazelnut is followed by a surprising and pleasant freshness produced by ethereal flavors, culminating with a taste of licorice.
