Port 80 Yr Tawny

80 year-old tawny Port is a category created in 2025 and marketed only by an elite few houses •  A deep amber color with greenish hues reveals the wine’s long aging in ancient wood • Initial aromas suggest slightly resinous exotic woods, ending in a botanical bouquet reminiscent of pennyroyal and other shade herbs • On the palate, it surprises with its endless freshness, notes of tangerine peel, dried apricot, and licorice unfold into a core of spiced and dried fruit nuances. A second wave brings a slight bitterness that lingers on the finish, highlighting coffee and clove, preparing the palate for another sip • Silky and sharply acidic, this is a wine that endures over time, revealing its many layers of elegance and delight with every taste.

"Extraordinary depth, balance and nuance in a wine that is more an experience than a drink. Linear, vivid acid carries the dense flavours of dried apricot, loquat, poached cherries and strawberry jam. At the core there's unctuous plum sorbet, meaty walnut, salted caramel and melting dark chocolate. Over it all, hovers a dense, perfumed layer of mahogany, cherry leaves, crushed violets and camphor with a smokey seam of Rooibos, coffee and peat. Very long finish with tingling nutmeg, white pepper and cinnamon."

"The NV 80 Year Old Tawny Port, a category I didn't even know existed until recently and now everybody seems to have one, is surprisingly fresh and harmonious for such an old age. It has a dark brown color, controlled volatility and oxidation-nothing green about it-with creamy notes of hazelnuts, milk chocolate, caramel, spice and cherries in liqueur. It is quite attractive, showy, complex and nuanced. It has a rich palate with pungent flavors, great balance of all the elements, integrated sweetness and a velvety texture. The wine was transferred to Vila Nova de Gaia early on after vinification in the Douro and spent decades in oak casks aging in the cellars."
