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.
