Quevedo

40 Year Old Tawny Port in Gift Box
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Description and Reviews:
The 40 year old Port combines the talent of 3 generations. João, Oscar Sr. and Cláudia combined their effort in the cellar to blend this balanced, intense and complex very old Tawny, pairing the concentration from Port wine aging in the Douro with the elegant style of Quevedo’s Tawny.

Produced using Hand-harvested, sustainable and dry farmed grapes, fermented in traditional Granite (vats) lagares. Aged and matured in seasoned chestnut casks and unfiltered.

Tasting notes
The colour is amber with green hints.
The aroma is a complex and intense expression with notes of citrus marmalade, dry fruits, nutmeg, marzipan and almond essence.
The taste has a sharp entrance due to the high acidity built through all the years of evaporation in the casks. Quickly the Port becomes very smooth, balanced by its sweetness and the appearance of dry fruits, grilled nuts and caramel flavours. From the midpalate, it evolves to cloves, ground coffee, and bitter almonds. The many layers of flavours build towards an explosive finish, taken over by the citrus, cinnamon and ginger notes that linger persistently.
