Wine Information

A deep mahogany brown core gradually fades through a halo of amber to a narrow rim of warm gold. After years in cask, Port develops an extraordinary multi-layered complexity unlike that of any other wine. This rare Port of great age is no exception. On the nose, the wine is seductive and intense, displaying multiple dimensions of opulent aroma. It opens with a rich confection of molasses and butterscotch, with notes of almond and dried fig, fo...

Written Notes

When it comes down to Port one needs to blow in his own trumpet to create some attention. Even better if you have a full orchestra at hand… The first two Kingsman movies were James Bond alike “very british”, so that a decent glass of Port is rather fitting for the third part (in cinemas February 2021). The price could be open for discussion, but it is a fascinating Port and a fantastic PR (0,5 Liter decanter for 3.600 EUR with just 700 bottles made):

Deep dark core in the dark-red colour with orange reflections. Fantastically intense and balanced bouquet with a variety of nuts, coffee, caramel, figs and milk-chocolate. Despite the complexity, everything appears very well balanced. The palate continues the nose perfectly with a perfect equilibrium of acidity and sweetness (very hard to find in old Ports): Malt, orange-peel, pepper and hints of balsamico. Complex and very long aftertaste. Head winemaker David Guimaraens blended this Port from very old casks and used averagely 90 year old Ports. I am quite sure that Eggsy will properly enjoy this.
