    1982 Palmer Colheita Port (Douro, Portugal)

    A beautifully mellow single-harvest Tawny drawn from the 1982 vintage and matured for decades in old casks. In the glass it shows deep amber-tawny with a burnished rim; the nose is lifted and complex—dried fig and date, orange peel, walnut and almond brittle, toffee and crème brûlée, with a subtle varnished-oak/rancio note.

    Silky and beautifully balanced on the palate: candied citrus and apricot layered with caramel, hazelnut and nougat; sweetness is refined rather than heavy, kept taut by lively acidity. The finish is long and elegant with salted caramel, pecan and orange-zest echoes.

    Serve slightly chilled 12–14 °C in a small white-wine or Port glass.
    Food pairing Pasteis de nata, almond tart, walnut cake; blue cheeses (Stilton/Roquefort) or simply roasted nuts.
    After opening Stable for 4–6 weeks re-stoppered and stored cool/dark.
    Drink window Perfect now; will hold its plateau for many years in bottle.
    Producer note Bottled under the Palmer label by the Van Zeller family (Barão de Vilar), renowned for classical, balanced Tawnies from deep lodge reserves.
