Borges Muito Velho Tawny Port
/ #52062071
The label says "Tawny Muito Velho", which means "Tawny very old".
This port is a rarity and bears the designation "VVV", indicating its exceptional age. According to the producer Borges, the wine dates back to before 1900 and was bottled in 1947. Borges, who has owned the two vineyards Quinta do Junco and Quinta do Roncão since 1870, created this port with grapes from fields that are both classified as A-class. However, it is unknown whether the wine comes from one or both vineyards.
Taste experience
At first taste, the wine presents itself with fine and subdued notes. After 10-15 minutes in the glass, it opens up and reveals complex aromas of citrus, nuts and almonds, complemented by a slightly burnt character. The age of this port is evident in the taste, where it lacks fresh acidity, but instead offers a balanced, subdued acidity that harmonizes beautifully with the sweetness and depth.
This port wine is a unique experience for connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate wine with history and character.
