NV Vasconcellos Tawny 40YO
Posted: 21:38 Sun 16 Oct 2011
Pale brown colour, slightly greening on the rim. Lovely colheita nose, with toffee apple everywhere. Sweet and supple entry, with lovely muscvado sugar, dates and walnuts - and absolutely no tannins. Big orange zest aftertaste and then a huge tingling (and delicious) finish. This is a very tasty barrel aged port. Drunk 13 October 2011. 89/100. Served blind, this was guessed to be the Noval 40 yo tawny.
