This was from an old bottle, ~40 years old, on a dispenser system at Garrafeira Nacional, Porto.

Smells musty and burnt, along with aromas of solvent and furniture polish. Then it smelt a bit like leather, recently cleaned, along with some lemon as well. Tastes better than it smells, but also odd. Lots and lots of lemony acid. 88 points. (16 May 24)
