For five decades this Port has been aging for this moment. It has reached its 'Golden Age' a point when the Port achieves a perfect balance of complexities, smooth character, and rich texture.
This Port was made from from a handful of special barrels whose potential for aging was identified back the 1970s! Now after 50 years of aging and careful blending, this Port is ready for celebrations of all types in your home. Consider it for a special birthday, anniversary, or after any special meal.

The NV 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a field blend bottled with a bar-top cork in 2022 and with 158 grams of residual sugar. Mature, with dark chocolate nuances, this is rich, deep and sensationally delicious. The concentration is exceptional too. Then, there's the long, long finish, filled with fruit and sugar. It is irresistible, in addition to being nuanced and complex. It's young enough so that it is never just a curiosity. The fruit is certainly not cracking.
James Suckling: 97 Points
The aromas here show a half a century old elixir of a port with dried fruits such as sultanas and figs with toffee, caramel and old wood. Burnt orange, too. Yet it’s subtle and not overpowering or lifted. Full-bodied, very sweet with so much salted caramel and dried fruits on the palate and there’s a fruity undertone to it. I like how it’s not volatile or rancio and very clean. Drink now.
