NV Alves de Sousa Caldas White Port

[Andy Velebil]

I bought this a couple years ago during the festival on the banks of the Douro in Regua as it was a stand out for any of the white Ports I tried. 19% ABV. The color is a dark copper orange and it's now starting to throw a noticeable sediment. Sweet apple, apricot, and lychee nose. Viscous apricots, dried rose pedals, and sweet vanilla dominate in the mouth. There is a very slight warming sensation and spice on the long sweet finish. A non-vintage white Port unlike any I've had, and one that clearly shows some age to it, though I have no idea what that age is. Just fantastic.

From a FB reply, this may have been aged for about 8 years in concrete and is about 91 GpL of residual sugar.
