NV Quinta das Lamelas +40 years white port

50 cl bottle. Age is apparently well above 40 years. Bottled 2011. Decanted 0.5 hr.
Dark amber colour. With a lighter rim and actually a touch of light green on the top. Aroma of bitter almonds, apricot, wood, cardamom, and tiny bit spirit. Full body.
Silky, elegant start. Taste is showing nice sweet fruit (incl mandarins), some power, apricot and figs. A sweet style with orange overtones towards the end. Medium long aftertaste. We liked it so much that we purchased 12 bottles. 95 pts.

I really like this as well. Have a single bottle I got in Oporto.

Sounds lovely Rune. Would it be possible to post a picture of a bottle?

This is a good example of why we should try to post prices for comparison if available on many of the bottles we taste. I habitually do and if you see a TN with a price it's probably mine. Does this help anyone else?

I hope this works with enclosing the picture of the bottle.
Both from front and rear sides.
