Marthas Miniature 30 years old Tawny Port Wine 5 cl 20%

Three quiet decades in oak have given this small bottle a depth that only fully unfolds in the last, long pull of the finish.

Expert's Description

Martha's 30 Year Old Tawny Port is an aged Tawny Port in a 5 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 20%.

The wine is a carefully composed blend in which the youngest component is at least 30 years old, and the long ageing in oak barrels in Baixo Corgo has produced a deep amber colour and a pronounced concentration of aromas.

Martha's Wine & Spirits has bottled Port under its own name since 1956, though the family's history as grape growers in Baixo Corgo dates back to 1727.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Complex aromas of walnut, dried apricot and a touch of roasted coffee, with a hint of forest floor.

Palate

Full-bodied and silky with flavours of fig, caramel and a light bitter nuttiness that balances the sweetness.

Finish

Very long, warm finish with lingering notes of dried fruit and old wood.
