| MW Wines Special Tasting - Seppelt 100 Year Old Para Liqueur Port(17/11/04) - medium tawny/mahogany, dramatic colour shift from the vibrant deep purplish hue of the previous young (less than a year old) wine. Nose: woody, with the rancio characteristics of a tawny port now apparent. Fresh fruit and grapey aromas have disappeared into the background. On the palate: Hard to imagine this wine still has 80 years of ageing in an oak barrel to go through! Never mind that it is still a child amongst its brethren, it is a very fine tawny port, well balanced, with the oak now firmly in and secondary flavours coming to the fore. |
