| W Wines Special Tasting - Seppelt 100 Year Old Para Liqueur Port (17/11/04) - black coffee, and a noticeably tighter rim with brownish-green edge, viscous, coating the inside of the class with a olive brown film. Nose: complex, a melange of plum pudding, chocolate, nuts and oldleather. On the palate: Intense, complex and smooth, and noticeably weightier than the 1899, though not as big as the 1904. Concentrated dried fruits, prunes, raisins, plum pudding with a high alcohol lift complimented with high acidity and equally well balanced by the sweetness. Smooth, luscious texture, long, long finish. It is amazing to me that this is a wine that was laid down to age a year before my great-grandmother was born! |
