Notes: Toasted color with a brown top and a green halo around it (very characteristic of old Ports). On the nose, a wine from another era, but very lively and delicate. A fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur that comes through the palate with a long finish.
🍽️ Serving: Serve slightly chilled; ideally between 12–16ºC (depending on the style).
Excellent with aged cheeses, chocolate, dried fruits and desserts; also perfect on its own.
⏳ Potential for Evolution: Store in a cool, dark place; some styles benefit from bottle aging.
