Quinta do Vallado 30 Year Old Tawny 50cl

Quinta do Vallado 30 Year Old Tawny Port 50cl

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz aged in very old 600 litre oak casks and other old oak vats. 

Very intense, combining dried fruits and honey on the nose, with flavours of orange jam on the palate, and a very long, persistent finish. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"The NV 30 Year Old Tawny Port is an old vines field blend bottled in 2015. It comes in with 159 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is most notable initially for the rich and unctuous finish, leaning more to caramel than molasses. Then, the darker flavors come out. It is not always the biggest or the most powerful, but it adds good acidity that laces through the notable sweetness, and it becomes increasingly complex. It is seriously delicious, an important point in its favor, and that unctuous feel caresses the palate. There were just 1,000 500-milliliter bottles produced." 

93/100 points, Mark Squires, robertparker.com, March 2016

"Amber-colored explosion of aromas: camomile, bergamot, dried oranges, salted lemon, Brazil nuts. Fine dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee beans on the palate. Has play and length, ends in caramel mou. Strong type with grip and power. Chalky and notes of wet pebbles in the finish. Demanding meditation tawny."
