 Tasted by Jeff77 on 7/28/2023 & rated 90 points: Score by me, tasting note from my wife is as follows:

This port tastes like a dozen sundried raisins having an orgy in a puddle of caramel and bourbon. It's delicious. Slight taste of German automotive leather. (600 views)

Tasting Notes
This superb old Tawny port patiently matured for 20 years in seasoned oak casks, acquiring a softened mellow texture with an intense complex nose which complements the appealing raisiny fruit.
Ready to drink, makes a delicious dessert wine and is the perfect finish for any meal.

Serve slightly chilled in warm weather.
Goes very well with sweet desserts, mince pies, cakes, milk chocolates, walnuts, nuts, créme brûlée, Roquefort and as a digestive with cigars.
Can be left open for a couple of months.
Alcohol: 20%

Port Blend

Over a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
