Our Expert's Recommendation
"
Only a few bottles of this great wine remain anywhere in the world. Opening and serving such a rare Port is certain to be a memorable occasion. After many decades of gentle ageing in bottle, this Port will be delicate and wonderfully complex. It has the superb concentration of flavours and aromas of one of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made. This wine should be decanted carefully at least 4 hours before serving to allow the incredible aromas to emerge after so long in bottle. This Vintage Port will continue to improve for many decades to come, but at any stage it will be stupendously good."
Press Comments
“…pleasant colour, warm glow, curiously rich, malty nose; fairly sweet still, assertive, flavour combining meat and fruit."
“Lovely “smoky” nose. Smoke and roses. Fading flowers. Very gummy fruit on the palate. Full alcohol. Soft roses. Easy and at its apogee. Lacy, long finish”.
“But perhaps one of the biggest surprises was the excellence of the 1934. This wine still had good colour, lots of fruit on the nose and palate and clearly several more years ahead of it”.
