A great rarity, that is worth enjoying on its own. If you want to serve something, in fine dining style. A small slice of cheese, a spoon-sized dessert or a small macaron.

Bright,translucent yellow-brown

Aroma

Arctic raspberry, roasted sugar, nougat, vanilla, dried fruit, dried flowers, spices, rum-raisin fudge, roasted nuts, raisins and cloves

The taste is sweet, but its slightly acidic structure and its rich aroma contribute to minimal sweetness. True to its rich nose, the long finish lingers in the mouth and the whole experience feels like an luscious culinary indulgence

Description

40-year-old tawny is an exceptional rarity, served by only a few producers. It is a challenge for the cellar master and a tremendous feat, which is born as a mixture of a huge number of components of different ages. The oldest might come from small farmers, who have stored them in order to get their “pension”. The sugar does not disappear from the wine, but the ever richer aromas give a dry impression. Forty-year-old tawny is like reading a history book about the area, that tells the story of life from decades ago to the present. This makes the wine great to share or serve.
