A 50 yo blend of White Ports with unusual low residual sugar. Oldest wine in the blend is from the 30s. Subtle aromas of old wood combined with citrus and nuts. The mouth is rich characterised by sharp acidity and very long finish.
Roy Hersh (2007) 94 points: "Amber hue with herbs, nuts, golden raisins and a touch of VA on the nose. Delicious and unique white Port with copious amounts of gentle flavors of lemon, honey and almond. Light tannins and a mouthfeel caressed by liquid silk and well-integrated acidity. From their ratings, I could tell the others liked this even more than me, but it is a Port that I won't soon forget, with a memorable finish. Drink now. 94 points."
