O Produtor, tasting note published in May 25th 2020

Pale mahogany core surrounded by a wide pale gold rim with subtle olive reflections. At first glance, the wine is ethereal, but soon begins to unfold layer after layer of multidimensional aromas. The first to appear are notes of sawn wood and cigar leaf, on a background of cedar, balsam and citrus. This is followed by a soft and smooth redolence of marzipan, nuts and coffee, with notes of sultana and plum and spicy notes of black pepper and cardamom. Finally, the nose opens in a discreet salty dimension, with toasted and wild herb notes. In the mouth, the wine has a smooth and velvety texture. Rich, dense and sumptuous, it coats the tongue with an opulent and wonderful taste of coffee and caramel with notes of walnut and crystallized orange peel, but with a remarkable freshness of the crisp acidity that runs through the palate to the very long and extraordinary end. A wonderfully elegant Port wine, finely constituted and beautifully ripened, that provides a wave of rich flavour to every sip.
