Port Wine

98 pts Revista de Vinhos - luminous golden-orange colour with an amber core, bronze nuances, and delicate olive-green reflections on the rim, revealing the extraordinary longevity of this wine. More than just a very old white Port, this wine is the expression of over eight decades of aging and the rare ability of time to transform and elevate a great wine. On the nose, it reveals exceptional depth and complexity, with aromas of dried apricot, almond 'biscotti', candied orange peel, and wild lavender, evolving into delicate floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom. On the palate, it impresses with its purity, precision, and extraordinary balance. Notes of toasted hazelnut, almond, tonka bean, blood grapefruit, honeycomb, and a subtle hint of saffron are supported by a vibrant acidity and a delicate salinity, which lend freshness and tension to the whole. With a silky texture and remarkable concentration, it envelops the palate with elegance, culminating in an extraordinarily long, harmonious and persistent finish, where intensity and delicacy coexist in perfect balance.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
