Borges Soalheira 20 Years Old Tawny Port

Recensie

"The NV 20 Year Old Soalheira Tawny Port is a blend of 20% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional, 20% Tinto Cão, 15% Tinta Roriz and 5% Tinta Barroca. It comes in at 118 grams per liter of residual sugar and was bottled in September 2016 with a bar top cork. An elegant tawny, this is relatively powerful in aromatics, one of its best features. The concentration is less impressive—it is just average—but it has a bright, easy-drinking feel to it. It then finishes with a rush of sugar and caramel, all cut by good acidity. It just tastes great. Complexity is not its claim to fame but more complex nuances do appear around the edges. This sweet 'n' spicy Tawny should also be well priced on shelves. As always, these tend to age very well, although they are not intended to be aged, certainly not with a bar-top cork. Finally, don't drink it too warm."
