| MW Wines Special Tasting - Seppelt 100 Year Old Para Liquer Port(17/11/04) - vibrant purple/deep crimson. Nose: plummy shiraz fruit, grape spirits with floral highlights. On the palate: sweet, fresh, concentrated dark berries, plums and shiraz fruit. Apart from the sweetness (without being overly so), what is really apparent is its fine balance, as fine as any top quality table wine. But as the winemaker reminded us, the wine has to balanced right from the start, or it will never achieve it as it ages. I doubt I will live long enought to revisit this wine when it is 100 years old, but it sure drinks beautifully now (even though it is less than 1 year old). |
