NV Vieira de Sousa Porto Very Very Old Tawny

[Stewart T.]

• NV Vieira de Sousa Porto Very Very Old Tawny - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/2/2013)
  This wine came from a cask whose oldest wine is from 1808, but whose average age is over 100 years old. The cask was last refreshed over 100 years ago. Darn brown in color. Cigar box and some hints of mocha. Maderized notes on the palate. Some salinity on the palate as well that fades to beautiful, complex orange peel flavors. This was a treat to try. (97 pts.)
