This is an aged tawny port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% in a 75cl bottle. It comes from Dow's, a house run by the Symington family, and is aged in small oak casks at the Boa Vista Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia, with an average age of at least 40 years. The grapes come from vineyards classified "A", including Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. The blend centres on Touriga Nacional with Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. The nose offers dried figs, golden raisins, toasted walnuts, praline, violets and tea leaves. The palate is silky, with caramel, butterscotch, dried stone fruit and hazelnut, balanced by bright acidity. The finish is very long and slightly dry, with green tea and praline.
