Pale amber in colour, it shows a rich and polished nose, with notes of hazelnut and vanilla and hints of wood. Concentrated and smooth on the palate, it is very expressive and consistent. Long and enduring finish.
RECOMMENDATIONS Served chilled, it reveals all its finesse and sophistication, especially when drunk with desserts made with caramel, dried fruit and spices, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brulée and medium-strength cheeses. Best served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.

Bottled in 2020, a beautifully aged colheita, with a scintillating, finely tuned nose and palate. Appetisingly high-toned, yet honeyed and caressing, with spicy chutney, black cardamom, walnut and café crème notes to the nose and palate. Exceptionally long and precise, with delicate but persistent grapefruit and saline piquancy to the tapering, lingering finish. A late-night sipping wine for contemplation.
The 1941 Colheita Tawny Port, bottled in November 2015 with 126 grams per liter of residual sugar, is a marvel. The acidity here makes this very lively, startlingly fresh and young. Add the endless finish and lingering flavors to the very fine structure, and this becomes irresistible. Penetrating and intense, it is also simply delicious, the intensity of flavor matching the structure easily. The aromatics are fabulous, too. Put this next to an open window and walk towards it. You should probably be able to smell it from about ten feet away. It is also perfectly balanced. The first time around, at the beginning of my note I wrote "gorgeous" and then repeated it. At the end, I wrote "love, love this." That still seems to sum it up nicely.
