| MW Wines Special Tasting - Seppelt 100 Year Old Para Liqueur Port (17/11/04) - dark deep brown, like a black coffee except more viscous. Nose: lighter rancio, slightly ketonal (like a flor sherry). On the palate: complex, rancio, pruny, dried fruits, dark chocolate and toffee, with whiffs of almonds/flor sherry. Smooth. The rancio is lighter than its 20 year younger brother, the chocolatey bitterness is also a bit more subdued, but it is also smoother and rounder. This apparent lightness (compared to the 1964) has been attributed by James Godfrey to vintage variations. |
