Description
Quevedo 40 Year Old Tawny Port), Gift Box
95 Points – Wine Enthusiast
The Quevedo 40 Year Old Tawny Port is an exceptional and rare expression, representing decades of careful ageing and blending in seasoned oak casks. It captures the depth, concentration and elegance that define the finest aged tawnies.
The nose is intensely complex and captivating, with aromas of dried fig, walnut and almond, layered with notes of caramel, honey and orange peel. Subtle hints of spice, tobacco and polished wood add remarkable depth, reflecting its long maturation.
On the palate, the wine is rich and seamless, with a silky, almost weightless texture that belies its concentration. Flavours of dried fruits, toffee, roasted nuts and citrus peel unfold in layers, balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and precise.
The finish is exceptionally long and refined, with lingering notes of caramel, spice and a delicate nutty complexity. A truly luxurious Port, offering both immediate indulgence and a profound sense of maturity.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Best enjoyed on its own as a contemplative digestif, or paired with nut-based desserts, crème brûlée or aged cheeses, where its depth and balance can be fully appreciated.

Reviews
***94 Points - Mark Squires - Robert Parker***
The NV 40 Year Old Tawny Port, bottled in 2015, is a field blend with 135 grams per liter of residual sugar. Very fresh, very elegant and relatively young for a 40, this is only moderate in complexity for its age, a little light on those molasses overtones, if you will. However, the youth and nutty nuances are rather glorious in their own right. Alive and delicious, it has an enticingly sweet edge. There are approximately 1,000 bottles produced per year.

Produced from a field blend of old vines, this port is a classic of its kind. It has an old-gold character, with concentration from aging in wood for nearly 40 years. spice and acidity are balanced by the heady perfumes of this wine. Roger Voss (May 2023)
