Description

Ce porto est un vin liquoreux d'une extraordinaire complexité, issu d'un assemblage magistral de vins ayant subi un long processus d'élevage en fûts pendant trois décennies. Au nez, il dévoile d'élégantes notes de vanille, de fruits secs, de cacao et de cannelle. Soyeux, frais et profondément équilibré, il révèle des saveurs d'amandes et de noisettes, avec une finale persistante de réglisse. Un vin doté d’une personnalité et d’un caractère uniques, idéal comme vin de méditation ou pour accompagner les fromages bleus et la pâtisserie fine.

L'avis des experts

James Suckling:

Complex, showing lots of dates, walnuts and caramel on top of the dried fruit, savoriness and spices. A touch of iodine with oxidative notes and a hint of old leather. Excellent integration of alcohol and sweetness, with concentrated flavors and a long, near-salty finish that goes on for more than a minute. Complete now but can hold too.

Wine Enthusiast:

This Port is a triumph. Its age and its concentration are on one side of an equation that brings out the elegance of the style of this producer and the balance of sweetness, dark-toffee flavors and acidity are on the other. The wine is very ready to drink. Roger Voss

The Wine Advocate:

The NV RP 30 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in February 2020 with a bar-top cork and 139 grams of residual sugar. Showing more complexity and notably more sweetness than the 20 Year also reviewed this issue, this is along the lines of the last release (the 2018) that I saw a while back. As it opens and the sugar blows off, especially a couple of days later, this shows off its complexity even more, but also just a touch of harshness. The key difference is really the complexity versus the freshness—in other words, about what you'd expect. The 20 Year has almost as much concentration and power as this elegant 30 Year, but the 20 Year is fresher and even more elegant (not that the 30 isn't rather fresh for its age), while the 30 Year is far more nuanced. I personally slightly preferred this, as I usually lean toward complexity, but reasonable minds might differ. As noted with the 20 Year, the end-date drinking window is just a placeholder. Barring a cork failure, this should hold well indefinitely—although it does not need aging.
