DESCRIPTION
A nice port. Light body with heavy alcohol on the nose. Orange color with a light green rim Lots of caramel on the forward taste transitioning to nuts and orange. Lacks fruit and more in the Madeira style than a classic Tawny. Medium length finish. Honestly, the $10 Seppelt DP 30 is a better Tawny port at 1/10th the cost. Had second tasting fo the same bottle 2 days after opening....it has a much more mellow flavor with fruit finally pushing through the alcohol. I'll stick with my score of 89 but happy the wine is less austere than first tasting.
The color is a very light carmel and orange with a hint of green in it. The nose has some VA and hints of oak, slight toffee, and a faint herbalness to it. On the palate it is very rich and just explodes in the mouth and has waves of toasted almonds, glycerin, a touch of cedar and vanilla. Unfortunitly, the finish loses some of that compexity and is not super long, slighting reducing its overall score. None-the-less, a very tasty 40 year tawny and a good start to the day. 91-92 points\n
