1888 Quinta do Vallado 'ABF Very Old Port' Douro with Gift Box

Winemaker Notes:

Aroma : This extraordinary Port Wine stands out immediately for its extremely seductive color, reminiscent of mahogany, with hints of green when stirred, an evident sign of its age. Its aroma is tremendously complex and rich, with numerous nuances of dried fruits - figs and plums -, vinegar, iodine and spices. It has a very fresh, persistent and harmonious finish.

Varieties : This wine originates from vines that date back to a pre-phylloxera era, and as such it contains a selection of typical grape varieties of the Douro region: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional and many others.

Taste : The palate confirms and reaffirms the remarkable freshness promised by the nose. Even though the wine is extremely rich, unctuous, concentrated and dense, it ends with a perfectly balanced acidity that provides an explosive and never-ending finish, as though the wine refuses to leave. At the very end it provides an irresistible acidity.

Aging : This wine aged throughout its long life in 650L wooden barrels.

Alcohol : 19.5%
