Gonzales Byas, 1932
Vintage Port, DOC Douro
This famous sherry producer came to Oporto in 1895 and started to ship port in 1896. From 1901 they purchased their wines from Quinta do Roriz. The port operation was purchased by Sandeman in 1989 and it no longer exists as a trading name.
The 1932 is light tawny in colour with molasses and caramel on the nose. The port is light bodied and the sugar and caramel are evident in the taste. There is some extra complexity in the mouth and the port has a good long finish. Rating 18/20 VWP tasting.
