NV Andresen Tawny 40YO

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A cask sample drawn about 6 hours before being tasted.

40yo tawny cask sample: huge vinagrinho nose, crushed roasted hazelnuts. A hint of red fruits on the palate, some lavender beeswax polish. Powerful acidity, a little dry tannin, sweet rose jelly. Dry rose jelly and cranberry finish. Great length. 93/100. Tasted 14-Oct-22.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
