This venerable wine attracts and seduces, such are its mesmerising aromas and flavours. The range of aromas is extraordinary, combining nuts, honey, coffee and dried figs. The creamy, luxuriously textured palate is both concentrated and extraordinarily smooth and polished with layers of complexity. It presents soft notes of caramel, tangerine, quince, praline, vanilla and then a hint of toasted caramel on the long finish, which ends with notes of tobacco and black tea. The discreet acidity provides remarkable freshness, grace and balance. This magnificent old Port is the epitome of wine sophistication and a delight for the senses.
