  D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES - home prep: A: Medium amber (and yes, there is something of a green neon halo around the rim under good light)
  N: Pronounced nose of sultanas. dried apricot. truffle, caramel, hazelnuts, semi sweet chocolate, allspice, nutmeg, dried tobacco leaves
  P: Sweet, medium acid (3 sec drip test), high alcohol (20%), full body, pronounced intensity and long finish
  Wonderfully complex, ideal length, optimal intensity and sufficient balance between the acidity perceived and the residual sugar makes this an outstanding wine.
  Not suitable for ageing. This has been aged for you in the winery. Drink up.
  
  Blind Tasters:
  You are unlikely to mistake this for a cream sherry because of the acid seems higher.

  My first aged White Port was a remarkable experience! Bottled in 2017. Slightly cloudy, deep amber. Intense, complex, slightly Madeiraized nose, with candied orange peel, dried figs, walnuts, marzipan, caramel, honey, vanilla, mushrooms. Med sweet, but the sugar is nicely balanced by med (+) acidity and a hint of tannin. Full-bodied (20% abv), with pronounced intensity and great length. Very good by itself or with Panettone and nutty Christmas desserts!

  Pre-Tour - 2021 FTLOP Harvest Tour; 9/20/2021-9/25/2021 (Porto, Portugal): Dark yellow-gold color. Deep, rich, and complex nose of oak, citrus, and candied navel orange peel. Orange spice and burnt sugar (like the crisp top of a creme brulee) on the palate. The tannins are round, and there is great balance and rich complexity on the finish.

  Rich figs and raisins. Lots of nuts. Orange peel and spice. Complex with plenty of acidity. Goes on and on. Delicious.
