Agri-Roncão Porto DR - 30 Year Old Tawny

Very good at the end of a long evening.

Black Glass Port Tasting - Sammamish Port Club (North Bend, Washington) : Tasted blind in black glasses. Aromas of dried pineapple, orange peel, and toasted almond on the nose, layered with hints of vanilla and warm spice. The palate is silky and balanced, offering caramelized tropical fruit, salted cashew, and a touch of honeycomb. Acidity provides lift without sharpness, and the finish is long and nutty, with lingering notes of citrus and butterscotch.

Purchased for $48. Beautiful dark golden color. Almost looks like a 10-Year Tawny. Where do I begin with this? Possibly one of the greatest wines I've ever tasted. On the nose, pineapple, caramel, tropical fruit (think peach and mango) and that lovely oak barrel age, similar to standing in the cellar house in person. On the palate.... W-O-W. F*ING WOW!!!!! So sweet. Yet with so much acidity. Pineapple, peach, honey, caramel... All jumping out of the glass. The acidity is …

Phenomenal and delicious. No detailed notes from a group dinner, but far outclassed a Royal Tokaij 5 Puttonyos 2009 and Guiraud Sauternes 2005.

Really interesting, excellent summer aperitif! Golden hue, visibly rich with a limpid satiny texture. The sweet nose leaps from the glass: butterscotch, orange peel, muscat raisins, spice cake. Coats the palate, sweet yet with an inner tension, very long.

Sammamish Port Club - January 2024 (Sammamish, Washington) : Light amber hue with aromas of caramel, candied orange peel, and warm baking spices, complemented by hints of Graham cracker. The palate is rich and velvety, with notes of toffee, honey, dried apricot, and toasted nuts. It has balanced acidity and a long finish that shows notes of caramel and some dried fruits.
