Quinta das Lamelas 40 Year Old Tawny

[Eric Menchen]

(Bottled 2014.) Concentrated aromas reveal just a little spirit with a lot of swirling. Left on its own, there are aromas of honey, sultana, and fig, It is warm in the finish, which might be distracting, but this has a lot more acid than the previously tasted 30 year old, for a more pleasant balance. The acid suggests lemon and lime citrus. Later the aroma shows wood and tree bark, and caramel. 93-94 points.
