This is from a 60 year old blend (average age). Light golden orange carmel colr that fades to a yellow edge. big nose of oak and butterscotch. The palate is very complex with many layers of butterscotch, vanilla, smoke, nutmeg, big acidity, and a finish that is 2-3 mintues long. One of the best 40 year tawnys I've had. 98 points

After I have been reading your TN, finally I decided to open the 40Y. You said almost everything, but I just like to add: WOOOWWWWWW!!! I am a little bit more optimistic and if I gave 98p to the 30Y I have to give 99p to this one... I just don't give 100p because still lots of Ports to taste :)

Agreed Andy. This is a superb 40y.o. tawny Port. I'm going to have to try and prick up some more of this in Oporto.... or try and visit the quinta!
