Tasting Notes
Appearance: A shimmering amber-gold hue with deep mahogany highlights, showcasing long, elegant legs (revealed upon swirling) that hint at its complexity and age.
Nose: The bouquet is rich and evolved, bursting with aromas of toasted almonds, dried figs, orange peel, and butterscotch. Subtle layers of cedarwood, clove, and nutmeg unfold gently, evoking the scent of a vintage library and spiced orchard fruits.
Palate: Lusciously smooth and beautifully rounded, this Tawny reveals flavours of caramelized walnuts, toffee, and apricot compote. The silky texture is interwoven with vibrant acidity, lifting the sweetness.
Finish: Long and warming finish. Hints of espresso and fine oak linger, leaving an indelible impression of depth and finesse.
Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12–16°C in a proper Port glass. Perfect on its own or paired with aged cheeses, pecan pie, crème brûlée, or dark chocolate truffles.
