40 Year Old Tawny Port by Rozes

Post by Andy Velebil »

Bottled in 2005 and from a 1-liter short fat bottle. The color is already turning a cloudy and murky brown. Soft with a lot of sweetness, with toffee and some citrus fruit, dried almonds, old mahogany, are the lead in to a medium length dried nut finish.

I would like to visit them at some point. I enjoyed their 1994 LBV and some other things from them, so they have the ability to make solid Ports. Not sure what happened here, but this seemed to have a hard time surviving a relatively short time in bottle before becoming cloudy.
