NV Offley Tawny 30YO

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep brick red-brown, with a hint of green on the rim. VA from barrel maturation dominates the nose. The palate develops slowly, with some deep concentration lurking around.The acidity delivers a huge marmalade concentration of flavours. The aftertaste is gentle. This is less impressive than the 20yo shown alongside. 85/100. 10-Jun-12. Decanted 1 hour.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
