Port

Cork

Although 1980 was a variable growing season, with below-average volumes, careful storage in oak has produced a classic 40-year-old tawny Port. Seductive nose of figgy molasses, black treacle, caramel, fruit cake, hazelnuts and spice. The palate is smooth and rich, with notes of dried fig, fruitcake, toffee, candied peel and some orange zest freshness. A blend of equal parts Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca. Serve it chilled at 6-10°C and pair it with crème brûlée.
