Port Wine
40 Year Old Tawny
Tasting Notes
This wine has an exotic profile, with an amber color and greenish rim, revealing the many years of aging in casks. On the nose, in addition to notes of nuts and spices, vanilla, cocoa and coconut also stand out. In the mouth it is smooth, soft, but with good austerity. It is a wine that lingers in flavor and is chewable. The finish is not long, but rather eternal.
