TN: DR 100 Year Old Tawny Port

[Stewart T.]

• DR 100 Year Old Tawny Port - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/1/2021)
  Cask #3 Sample. Dark brown in color with yellow on the edges. Mahogany and expressive notes of espresso, chocolate and vinegrenio. The incredibly rich mouthfeel seems to pick up viscosity on the mid-palate and evolve into a complex mélange of rich, flavors and textures. I picked up rich toffee, torrefacted brown sugars, and some simply amazing intensity. Great balance of acidity and sweetness. Wow. This is an amazing cask sample. Like drinking honeyed molasses with a shot of espresso. This cask is the is the Muito Muito Velha (Very Very Old) Port with over 100 years of age. These are often used to blend into other wines. (99 pts.)
