Cellar Selection
This dark-colored tawny Port with its great age is more than a curiosity. It is a very fine, mahogany-polished wine, dense with a refined texture that gives such concentration and balances acidity with black raisins and concentration. Drink the wine now.

Fascinating combination of salted peanut, dried plums, figs, and toffee aromas follow through to a full body with lots of nutty character to the dried and rich fruits. Walnuts and burnt toffee. Very sweet at the end. Special tawny. Drink now.
