Description
One of only 770 sets that celebrate the history, complexity and prestige of one of the world's great drinks: Port. A highly collectible and utterly fascinating piece for Port enthusiasts. It contains two tawny ports from the respected van Zeller winery, one from 1970 and 1870. To be able to compare vintages a century apart is a truly rare privilege, and this handsome green case contains not only a full-sized wax-dipped bottle of each vintage, but also two 5cl miniatures, a luxury tasting book, handmade stoppers and a certificate of bottling.
1870 OLD COLHEITA TAWNY PORT – NEAL MARTIN’S TASTING NOTES It has an arresting bouquet with scents of black plum, rosehip syrup, Manuka honey, fig and grilled walnut… Beautifully balanced, fresh and slightly viscous in texture, this is a complex Tawny Port whose age has not diminished just how delicious it tastes. It just goes out to offer gorgeous mulberry, clove, eau de vie and Chinese five-spice notes throughout its harmonious and poised finish. This is just a sublime Tawny of class and pedigree and it comes highly recommended. 97 Points.
1970 OLD COLHEITA TAWNY PORT – NEAL MARTIN’S TASTING NOTES Clove, toffee, wild fennel and smoke aromas. The palate is sweet and crisp on the entry with a tang of Seville orange marmalade and quince. There is great tension here thanks to the fine seam of acidity with a fresh, almost “zippy” finish that belies its age. A fine Colheita Tawny. 93 Points.
