The colour is deep amber with an intense mahogany hue and a light green rim, typical of very old tawny ports. The nose unfolds with a rich and complex bouquet of candied fruit, figs, roasted nuts and orange peel, complemented by subtle accents of honey, caramel and exotic spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. The palate is a true sensation, with a silky texture and a perfect balance between sweetness and fresh acidity. Dried fruit and caramelised nuts flow effortlessly into notes of roasted coffee beans, chocolate and a subtle hint of vanilla. The finish is extraordinarily long and elegant, with rich layering and impressive depth, as the flavours of nuts, spices and orange peel linger on and on.
Pairs perfectly with refined desserts such as crème brûlée, tarte tatin and nut tart. Also delicious with aged cheeses such as Stilton or as a meditation wine on its own.
