Profile
Product Highlights
This Forty Year Old Port is a wine of great rarity and quality. Forty years of careful ageing in oak casks have brought this wine to perfect balance. This wine represents the pinnacle of the Port blender's art. Fine amber and tawny colour. Complex aromas of nuts, raisins and vanilla explode from the glass. On the palate hot, with predominantly flavours of dried fruits and walnuts, with good acidity and an exquisite long finish.

Expert Reviews
Hazelnut and walnut husk notes give this a dry edge to start, while more flattering toffee, sesame and cinnamon flavors emerge on the back end. Long echoes of powdered ginger and juniper linger. On the drier side, this leaves a mouthwatering feel. Drink now. 200 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Produced from the two vineyards that also supply Dow's Vintage Ports, this is a surprisingly light, fresh wine considering its age. It is bright-eyed with acidity and perfumed toffee and raisin flavors, a wine that can be drunk now.
