Quinta da Boeira - Very Old Tawny Port

Porto

-

The nose is fruity, gourmand, intense, powerful and offers elegance as well as a slight concentrat­ion. It reveals notes of currant, a hint of dried lemon associated with discreet hints of caramel, date, a subtle hint of dried fig, a hint of spices, honey as well as an impercepti­ble hint of

Sichuan pepper, almond and dried apricot. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant, silky, soft and offers fat, suavity, a slight acid frame, a good definition as well as a beautiful complexity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of candied lemon, dried apricot, date and slight notes of dried peach associated with discreet hints of dried fig, Zante currant, a subtle hint of carameliza­tion, hazelnut/dry fruits as well as a discreet hint of dark chocolate, coffee and spices (cardamom, impercepti­ble hint of tea). Good length and persistenc­e. The persistenc­e is endless and offers a very discreet hint of almond, coffee and caramel.
