“The 30 Years White Port is a field blend from old vines (50 plus years). It was bottled in
July 2015 with 104 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is not necessarily head and
shoulders over the 20 Year tasted this issue, but it is very different. Much darker in
color, its main flavor difference comes from its far superior complexity. If it lacks the
fresh vibrancy of the 20, it is hardly old, dying or decayed. It is a prime time white Port.
Moreover, it finishes with a fascinating array of old Tawny-like flavors, including just a
whiff here and there of brandy as it airs and warms. Simply beautiful, this seals the deal
with its seemingly endless finish. It's gorgeous. You'll love tasting it because it is
delicious. It's also a wine to contemplate, probably my favorite white Port of this report.“

“Sweet nutty notes of marzipan blended with toasty blanched almonds and a hint of
spirit. Soft, smooth and well rounded, the interplay on the palate was its significant
advantage. It was extremely light-bodied to a point that few Tawnies I can remember
have been that vinous, while crème caramel and flavors of Frangelico came to mind.
The finish was medium in length and ended with a warm hazelnut nuance.”

“The first thing I noted was the distinctive heat from the aguardente that wafted out of
the glass, along with fragrances of praline and a minor medicinal note. Like the 10 year
old that preceded this glass, I was surprised at how light weight this was, although from
a textural standpoint, I preferred the 20 to the 10, which showed more sophistication.
However, the flavors in the 10 year old seemed more evolved and overall; my
preference went to the 10. Nonetheless, the wood influence here delivered notes of
toffee, apricot preserves and a candied caramelized nuttiness that I preferred to the
aromatic profile. The finish was a bit clipped, but overall this was a well-made 20 year
old "tawny-light”

“The third tawny in the lineup, naturally was the 30 year old which had a really great
nose of singed caramel, over-ripe nectarines, a distinct roasted character hinting at
Douro bake and a gently protruding essence of aguardente -- warm but not hot. Clearly
the Devesa house style for their Tawny Ports is to keep things light and elegant and
silky texturally. Soft, evolved nutty nuances and the most exotic flavors of the first three
in the lineup, including dried dates and peaches, and sweet pecan pie. The finish was
long and imbued with a stylish interplay of tropical fruit and caramelized nuttiness.”

“The 40-Year Old Port (technically +40, although that would have buggered up the
search engine) has a clear, deep mahogany color, although there a little more
reddishness here compared to the 30-Year Old. The nose is more volatile than the 30-
Year Old – this is feisty and boisterous and refuses to act its age. I kind of like that and
it soon calms down to offer aromas of balsam, cloves, shaved ginger, fig and
marjoram. The palate is lively and bright with the right amount of VA to give it a kick
without unbalancing the layers of spicy honeyed fruit. Nutmeg, orange rind, black
pepper, tamarind and dried apricots toward the finish somehow evoke images of
Morocco. Wonderful!”

Markus del Monego - Dark mahogany colour. Opulent and well concentrated but balanced nose. Black walnuts,
sweet almonds, candied orange peel, prunes and dried figs and dates. Hints of chocolate and vanilla in the
background, complex approach. On the palate well balanced with excellent weight and length, hints of sweetness,
balanced acidity and complex flavour reminiscent of caramel, vanilla and roasted notes. 94
