2022 Port Harvest Tour; 9/22/2022-10/2/2022 (Porto, Portugal): Bottled in 2022. There are rich grilled tropical fruits on the nose (pineapple and guava). The palate is likewise rich and intense, with waves of vanilla and caramel. The soft, rounded mouthfeel imparts an almost elegant characteristic, concluding with a long, smooth finish.

2021 FTLOP Harvest Tour; 9/19/2021-10/2/2021 (Portgugal): Dark golden-yellow in color. Perfumed floral and honey on the nose with some amazing freshness. Extremely smooth tropical fruit, honey, and fantastic balance of sweetness and lively acidity. This seems much younger than a 40 Year Old Tawny Port.

Pre-Tour - 2021 FTLOP Harvest Tour; 9/20/2021-9/25/2021 (Porto, Portugal): Bananas and guava on the nose. Bright acidity but it balances nicely with the sweetness. Great complexity on the mid-palate with some caramel, vanilla, and star fruit. Great structure and very long finish that shows citrus, orange peel, and a touch of walnut skins.
